Cuban Style Pot Roast turned Stroganoff
I can't cook Cuban food everyday, but most of my recipes have a Cuban flavor. This is basically a Stroganoff made with a Cuban-spiced pot roast ... sort of. It's good. Trust me.
I pulled out the Crock Pot and in went:
3 1/2 lb roast
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup sherry
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp orgeno
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
Once the roast is done, remove the broth (about 6 cups worth) to make a typical american gravy, and pull the roast apart with a fork. (The roast should be tender enough to do this without effort).
Boil 1 lb of fettucini noodles and drain. Set aside.
For the gravy:
In a large pot melt 4 tbsp butter over medium high heat whisk in 3-4 tbsp flour to form a paste and slowly add in your 5-6 cups beef broth whisking until thickened.
Add the pulled roast and fettucini noodles and mix together. I threw in some green peas for color.

¡Mijita, estás acabando! I have to try this recipe myself. Love pasta since I was a little boy in Cuba. And if you can combine pasta with something that has a Cuban flavor, then it must be heaven on earth. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteGracias Pedro. Croquetas de jamon tonite.
ReplyDeleteHeh, my wife has said that about my cooking (that most of it has a "Cuban flavor," no matter what it is). I take it as a compliment.
ReplyDeleteKaryyk, welcome to the blog. Can't beat a compliment like that!
