Ropa Vieja

Smokey red pepper stew from Cuba

£8.99

Ropa Vieja means “old clothes” in Spanish. There is a Cuban legend that a poor man once shredded the shirt off his back to feed his hungry family. As the fragments of fabric cooked in a pot, they transformed miraculously into strips of meat – and so Cuba’s national dish was born. Made with tomato, peppers, and sweet and smoky paprika, Ropa Vieja is Caribbean home-cooking at its best: humble, healthy, and sprinkled with magic.

Kit includes:

2 handcrafted Cuban spice mixes
Caribbean peppers
Organic canned tomatoes
White vinegar
Basmati rice
Easy recipe card

You need to add:

300g beef steak cut in strips (if you don’t eat meat, use a chopped sweet potato)
A medium onion (chopped)
3 red peppers (sliced)
A green bell pepper (sliced, optional)

Notes:

Serves 2
Cooking time 50 mins
Medium spice
Easy vegan substitutes

Tasty and simple to make

We bought one of these in Harrods and it was so easy to make as vegetarian we decided to buy more online. I couldn’t believe how quickly they arrived. Would recommend that if you like a great simple tasty curry meal, try these..
