Ropa Vieja

what i am going to do to the beef shanks tomorrow

except no peas.

Ropa vieja literally means "old clothes" in Spanish. The name describes the shreds of meat and vegetables which resemble colorful strips of rags. This Cuban beef stew is hearty enough to eat on its own, but goes well over rice dishes and soaked up on crusty bread. The beef must be cooked and shredded first. For convenience, you can prepare the beef the day before and refrigerate overnight to save time the next day.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 20 minutesIngredients:
•Steak Preparation
•=================
•2 pounds flank steak (or chuck roast)
•1 large onion (quartered)
•2 cloves garlic (smashed)
•1 large celery rib (chopped)
•1 tablespoon salt
•water to cover steak in stockpot
•--------------------------------------------------
•Stew Ingredients
•=================
•1 large onion (sliced into thin strips)
•2 cloves garlic (minced)
•1/4 cup olive oil
•1 large green bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
•1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (diced)
•2 tablespoons dry sherry
•2 bay leaves
•1 tablespoons cumin (ground)
•1/4 cup sweet peas (cooked)
•salt and pepper to taste

Sounds great. I love long braises with shank meat.

Agreed. Here is one my daughter made. The whole house smelled like warm havarti and pears for an hour or more. Yum. I couldn't touch it for the carbs.

Grilled cheese with havarti, pears, sage honey (this stuff is INCREDIBLE honey), and raspberry jam.
