Ropa Vieja

This is a cuban recipe, and ultra delicious, but surprisingly, game on!


Also, this serves much more than four. I make some to eat and eat as leftovers, then freeze some for later.



1 rump roast of beef, or other pot roast type of meat that will fall apart after it has cooked a long time

lots and lots of bell peppers, onions, celery, and any other veggies you think would taste good

A little bit of olive oil

1 can diced tomatoes

garlic

salt

cilantro

coriander

annatto

other tropically spices that you have

a bay leaf

about 10 olives



Sautee the veggies slightly until they are getting soft.

Brown the meat on the outside - this gives it good flavor

Put everything into a crockpot with about enough water (or chicken broth) to cover it. Then cook and cook overnight or all day until the meat falls apart at the touch. The whole mixture is just absolutely delicious.
