This is a good dinner recipe or use as a breakfast recipe using leftover rice;-D
Cuban Rice
tomato sauce
2 cups uncooked rice
3-4 cups water
4 eggs
Spanish virgin olive oil
salt to taste
Cook the rice: pour approximately 2-3 tbs of olive oil into a medium size sauce pan. Place on a burner on medium high heat. Pour the rice into the pan and coat the rice with the oil.

Pour the water into the pan and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste. Then, reduce the heat, loosely cover and allow to simmer until rice is cooked – about 20 minutes.

Add tomato sauce and stir until desired consistency is desired and reserve the rest. Optional — add onions, garlic, and/or chopped green pepper.
Pour 1/4-inch olive oil into a small frying pan. Heat the oil on medium. Fry the eggs one at a time in the olive oil, sprinkling with a dash of salt.
As you take each egg from the frying pan, place a scoop of rice on a plate and make a depression in the center.

Ladle some of the reserved tomato sauce into the depression. Carefully top with a fried egg. Serve immediately with a baguette.
