Eaten on it's own, or used in other dishes, this is good! This hearty stew packs lots of flavor and nutrition! Adapted from The Everything Vegetarian Cookbook by Jay Weinstein.
This is a hearty, easy and very filling meal that my family loves. It can be adjusted for a thicker stew that my husband likes served over rice, or chicken broth can be added for more of a soup.
Got this one from my sister. This is also good made with deer or elk meat. Rutabaga needs to be cut small, because they take longer to cook. All those veggies!!! Has to be good for you!

A Cuban recipe. Ropa vieja, or "old clothes," describes the shreds of meat, peppers, and onions resembling a mess of colorful rags. Robust stews such as this Cuban specialty are at the heart of West Indian...
