"According to a Learning Community Project by the University of Miami, "Cuban cuisine has been influenced by Spanish, French, African, Arabic, Chinese, and Portuguese cultures. Traditional Cuban cooking is primarily peasant cuisine that has little concern with measurements, order and timing. Most of the food is sauteed or slow-cooked over a low flame. Very little is deep-fried, and there are no heavy or creamy sauces." Herbs favored in Cuban fare include garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay laurel leaves. Many dishes use a spice blend called sofrito as their basis. Sofrito consists of onion, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, and ground pepper quick-fried in olive oil"
