Congree
Description
Congri is a very delicious traditional Cuban dish. When I cook it, I always try to set the right mood: I play Cuban music, drink some Cuban beverage, and imagine it's 113°F outside and that hot Cuban girlfriends are about to come over :) This always gives a positive result—the dish turns out incredibly tasty. So, congri is more than just a dish; it's a mood and a special feeling of life. Let me tell you how to make it.
