Why Flan deserves more attention

Flan rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The earthy and hearty complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using black beans correctly takes real skill.

paladares are privately owned Cuban restaurants that developed as an alternative to state food service. I encountered it first in a Havana paladar restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. mojito is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Flan is the dish to start with.
