Ropa vieja


Old rags. A great cuban dish made with peppers, onions, an average cut of meat like flank steak, lots of garlic, tomatoes, capers, and spiced with cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves. The meat is cooked for hours and then shredded with two forks, thus the "old rags". Rice, beans and a couple of warm tortillas. It has a surprisingly, nutty flavor...perfect for a cool fall day.

This recipe can easily be cut in half, but I like the leftovers. here, try it yourselves.
