If there is one thing that has characterized the Caribbean throughout history, it has to do with the cultural diversity of its people and its history, which is manifested in its cuisine. At Morgan's Mango we seek to be an expression of that diversity and honor the gastronomic culture of the different regions. That is why, on this occasion, we want to talk about the union between Cuba and the southern United States, which also finds a place in our menu.

Cuban tostón, a culinary legacy

The tostón is a dish made from green plantains, which is a true tradition of Cuban cuisine. What is done is to cut the green plantain into slices, fry them, mash them and fry them again to achieve a good balance between the softness inside and the crunchiness of the outside. Afterwards, the tostones are seasoned with a pinch of salt or garlic, making them a real appetizer or a good accompaniment to other foods.

In Caribbean households, preparing tostones is a communal activity that brings families together. It’s not just about the dish but also about the stories, laughter, and traditions passed down through generations. Green plantains, a staple ingredient in the Caribbean, symbolize resilience and adaptability, reflecting the region’s ability to transform simple elements into something extraordinary. Whether served with a garlic mojo sauce or alongside hearty proteins, tostones capture the heart of Caribbean hospitality and creativity.

Cajun and the charm of the American South

Moving a little north, we come to a place full of culture, art and cuisine, such as the south of the United States. The cuisine of this part of the country has been shaped by Native American, African, French and Spanish influences, resulting in a gastronomic culture as rich as it is diverse. One of the central dishes within these traditions is Cajun, which reflects the spirit of the Acadians who settled in Louisiana in the 18th century after being exiled from Canada. 

Cajun is characterized by intense flavors that celebrate local ingredients. One of the most iconic Cajun preparations is called gumbo, which is a hearty stew made with a base of roux, vegetables and proteins, including seafood, chicken or sausage. It is a dish that needs a lot of patience and love to be prepared and personalized and is usually eaten sharing it with friends or family, being a real experience.
