Introduced to Cuban Sloppy Joes at THE Sloppy Joe's restaurant in Havana, I've searched for an authentic recipe that does justice to the Havana classic. This recipe was found on the Old Havana Foods website.
1 pound Ground meat (beef, pork, lamb or turkey)
16 ounces Old Havana Foods Sofrito (I use Goya brand)
1/4 cup Pimento stuffed or pitted green olives, chopped (optional but very traditional)
1/4 cup Golden raisins, coarsely chopped (optional but very traditional)
2 tablespoons Dry sherry (optional but very traditional)
Preheat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meat until no longer pink, breaking up pieces with spoon. Add Sofrito, raisins, olives and sherry (if using); stir well to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve on toasted buns or for a truly traditional Cuban lunch serve with white rice, fried plantains and a fried egg.
