Authentic Cuban Pan-Fried Tofu Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, tomato, potato, water, yogurt, olive oil, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Cuban flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Cuban accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
