For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine along with the red wine vinegar. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spice. If you don't have currants or raisins on hand, chopped dates or dried cranberries make excellent substitutes. Serve with white rice, black beans, and fried plantains for a complete Cuban feast.
