Una de las cosas que se le da bien a mi esposo es la cocina, por eso, quería regalarle un plato que le gustara y que sirviera de pretexto y regalo por tan importante fecha. Esto es un reto porque es un excelente cocinero, pero, sabí que lo agradecería.
Después de mirar lo que tenía en el frízer no me quedó más remedio que desistir de una cena excelente porque la logística no estaba muy abundante. Sin embargo, al ver lo que tenía de proteínas una idea me vino a la mente: Haré un arroz con todos estos productos y será un ARROZ MIXTO PARA PAPÁ.
Ingredientes
Lo primero que quiero decir es que en Cuba buscamos alternativas ante la escasez o falta de productos y esta no fue la excepción. Así que, este arroz lo hice buscando todos poquitos de algo que tenía en el refrigerador y comencé mi aventura.
Ingredientes
4 libras de pollo
2 tazas de col picadas finamente
4 perros calientes o salchichas troceadas
1 libra de jamón cocido
¼ de libra de quimbombó
Quimbombó
Pasta de tomate al gusto
Aceitunas
6 dientes de Ajos
Cebollinos picados
1 vaso de aceite
Salsa china al gusto
Sal al gusto
Modo de preparación
Se cocinan todas las carnes y el arroz blanco por separado y en el caso del arroz se cocina con agua solamente, para evitar que en el proceso de mezcla nos quede salado o con mucha grasa.
Debo decir que hace poco tiempo leí una receta que subió @tonyes titulada Arroz Frito a lo cubano y, debo decirle que hay alguna similitud, en cuanto a esta receta, porque el arroz blanco se cocina aparte y las carnes también.
Después de que estuvieron cocinadas las proteínas, vertí el arroz en la sartén eléctrica y comencé a mezclar toda la comida cocinada y a echarle salsa china para que cambiara de color. Es cierto que tenía pasta de puré, pero, en este caso, lo utilicé para sazonar y darle sabor a las carnes.
Una vez que todo estaba mezclado, procedí a darle calor al arroz mixto en el sartén eléctrico. Este calentamiento fue por espacio de dos minutos y medios y listo.
El arroz mixto lo acompañé con yuca, ensalada de tomate, quimbombó, col y algunas cervezas.
Al parecer el regalo le gustó a mi esposo porque me elogió la calidad del arroz, algo en lo que es muy estricto, pues no tolera los malos sabores ni la comida mal cocinada.

ENGLISH
This Sunday we celebrated Father's Day at home and, although my children do not live in the country and only my husband and I were there, I decided to make him a surprise meal, as part of the activities for such an important date, as a tribute to the wonderful man I have by my side and who has been like a father to my two children, whom he helped me raise since they were 10 and 5 years old.
One of the things that my husband is good at is cooking, so I wanted to give him a dish that he would like and that would serve as a pretext and gift for such an important date. This is a challenge because he is an excellent cook, but I knew he would appreciate it.
After looking at what I had in the fryer, I had no choice but to give up on an excellent dinner because the logistics were not very abundant. However, when I saw what I had of protein an idea came to my mind: I will make a rice with all these products and it will be a MIXED RICE FOR DAD.
Ingredients
The first thing I want to say is that in Cuba we look for alternatives to the shortage or lack of products and this was no exception. So, I made this rice looking for a little bit of something I had in the refrigerator and I started my adventure.
Ingredient
4 pounds of chicken
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
4 hot dogs or sausages chopped up
1 pound cooked ham
¼ pound of okra
Okra
Tomato paste to taste
Olives
6 cloves of garlic
Chopped chives
1 glass of oil
Chinese sauce to taste
Salt to taste
How to prepare
All the meats and the white rice are cooked separately and in the case of the rice it is cooked with water only, to avoid that in the mixing process it gets salty or with a lot of fat.
I must say that a short time ago I read a recipe uploaded by @tonyes titled Arroz Frito a lo Cubano and, I must tell you that there is some similarity, as far as this recipe is concerned, because the white rice is cooked separately and the meats as well.
After the proteins were cooked, I poured the rice into the electric skillet and started mixing all the cooked food and pouring Chinese sauce to change the color. It is true that I had mashed paste, but, in this case, I used it to season and flavor the meats.
Once everything was mixed, I proceeded to heat the mixed rice in the electric skillet. This heating was for two and a half minutes and that was it.
I accompanied the mixed rice with yucca, tomato salad, okra, cabbage and some beer.
Apparently my husband liked the gift because he praised the quality of the rice, something he is very strict about, as he does not tolerate bad flavors or undercooked food.
