My version of Ropa Vieja (Cuban style)

Day 1

Season meat and let it marinate - cumin, s & p, oregano


Slice it


Braise it - onions, carrots, celery, garlic, cumin, etc.


After 1 hour


After 2 hours


After 3 hours


Then you "sift, mash, drain, and reduce."

Day 2

Throw in the veggies and saute


Shred and pile on the meat, tomatoes, garlic, etc.


Simmer for another 30 minutes


Day 3

Simmer for 20 minutes and serve with black beans, rice, and maduros!





Voila !


Then serve to some hungry boys


Oops - forgot to mention my mango/avocado salad appetizer


Homemade tiramisu - also let it sit for 2 days to get the rum flowing.




Happy Superbowl meal!

I didn't even watch the game.
