Arroz Ala Cubana

My husband usually does not get the chance to eat breakfast at home. He usually leaves for work at 5:00 am. I've been craving for this hearty dish and since I wanted him to be able to taste it, I decided to cook this for dinner instead. This is a very filling dish as it is eaten with rice, sunny side up egg and bananas. Breakfast for Dinner. Enjoy!
