Ropa vieja ("old clothes" in Spanish) was a traditional way to serve leftover roasts in old Cuba. The tomatoes, garlic, onions, and green peppers that form so much of the traditional seasoning of Spanish America are found here. This is traditionally served with French- fried potatoes. Ingredients: 2 pounds leftover pot roast 2 tsp salt freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tbs vegetable oil 2 onions, chopped 2 tomatoes, peeled, chopped 2 green bell peppers, chopped 1 tbs capers Directions: Serves 8. Shred the meat into strips and season it with the salt, pepper, and garlic. In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil and brown the onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the meat and capers.

Lower the heat and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Serve hot. Posted by Earl Shelsby to the Fidonet COOKING echo Submitted By ROBERT MILES On 08-13-95
