In addition, I put some cumin. Served it with "moros y cristianos" (rice cooked with black beans), fried ripe platain slices and avocado. I felt like in Havana!
This was really good. I didn't change a thing. I think this makes a great summer dish. There was quite a bit of juice in the crock pot. So I pulled servings out with a pair of tongs, and served this with lime cilantro rice and black beans. I garnished this with a avacado and lime. it was a bright satisfying dish.
Easy to made dinner. I had ropa vieja before in different Cuban restaurants and this recipe is the best. Thank You
excellent! I used red yellow and green peppers. easy to make.
Used peanut oil (high heat tolerance) to brown the roast. Added one blackened/peeled diced poblano to the other 3 peppers (red/orange/green) which gave it just a hint of smokey spice. This was fabulous - and provided leftovers for lunch the next day which tasted even better.
I never give reviews but I had to on this one. By far the best slow cooker recipe I've tried from this website. It was PERFECT. I paired it with rice and beans. I loved it! I was born and raised in Miami Florida so I know a good ropa vieja when I taste it and this was delicious??. I couldn't find avocado oil so I had to use olive oil but still extremely flavorful.
Really enjoyed this as did my girlfriend. I used red yellow and green peppers but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Quick to prepare and delicious...
Made this dish and it tasted great!! Awesome recipe will definitely use again!
Freezes really well. Put it out as taco filling for taco bar. Everyone liked it.
