Blisters on My Sisters

This vibrant vegetarian dish, traditionally known as Blisters on my Sisters, is a hearty take on classic Cuban flavours. Combining protein-rich black beans with zesty tomatoes and a warming kick of jalapeño, it offers a satisfying balance of textures. The warm corn tortillas and fresh rocket base provide a crisp, earthy contrast to the spiced rice mixture, making it an excellent choice for a filling weekend brunch or a quick midweek supper.

Packed with fibre and essential nutrients, this homemade meal is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The addition of a golden, runny fried egg creates a rich sauce that binds the ingredients together perfectly. For the best results, use high-quality tinned tomatoes and serve with an extra squeeze of lime or a dollop of soured cream if you prefer a cooler finish.
