One person hosts, chooses the theme & menu, and then asks what each person would like to bring. It’s a nice reason to go shopping for new dishes and decor (to match your chosen theme!) All recipes can be found by clicking on recipe titles: Our full menu: FEATURED BEVERAGE: Mojitos APPETIZERS: Guava Paste & Queso Blanco on Crackers Fried Calamari with Spicy Mayonnaise Plantain-Wrapped Crab Cakes with Avocado Aioli Yucca Fries with Cilantro Mayonnaise MAIN COURSE: Sangria-Roasted Pork Vegetable Paella Avocado & Onion Salad DESSERT: Tres Leches Cake All was excellent!!! Notes: *Mojitos are a must- SO good. *The guava paste/cheese combo is a classic cuban appetizer. *I LOVED the yucca fries. It was my first time having had yucca, and everyone seemed to like these a lot. *The crab cakes and calamari were also enjoyed. *The Sangria pork was good- it surprisingly didn’t have a lot of flavor to it, but you could reduce the sauce and serve it alongside. It was very tender. The vegetable paella and avocado/onion salad were excellent served with the pork. *We served slices of the very rich Tres Leches Cake for each couple to share (topped with whipped cream & star fruit and a scoop of vanilla ice cream). We picked up the star fruit at Specialty Produce. It was actually really delicious eaten in bites with the cake & cream. Everyone loved the cake! It was a very successful dinner, and I’m adding it to my dinner party menus.
