Ingredients for Ropa Vieja

• 1 kg lamb shoulder – for a rich and tender texture
• 400 g tomatoes – ripe and juicy, preferably Roma or vine-ripened
• 200 g bell peppers – a mix of red and green for color and flavor
• 200 g onions – finely chopped for sweetness
• 100 ml olive oil – extra virgin preferred for a deep flavor
• 10 g salt – to enhance the natural flavors
• 1 teaspoon black pepper – freshly ground for a kick
• ½ teaspoon cumin – for an earthy undertone
• ½ teaspoon coriander – to add a subtle citrusy note

How to Make Ropa Vieja?

• Begin by slicing the lamb shoulder into manageable pieces and sear them in a pot with olive oil until they are browned on all sides.
• Once browned, set the lamb aside to rest.
• In the same pot, add the diced onions and julienned bell peppers, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant.
• Peel and puree the tomatoes, then add them to the pot, letting the mixture simmer until it thickens into a rich sauce.
• Return the lamb to the pot, ensuring it is well-coated with the sauce, and allow it to cook slowly until the meat is tender and infused with the flavors.
• Once cooked, shred the lamb into strands, mixing it back into the sauce, and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
