Vegetarian Inspired Ropa Vieja -Gluten Free & Vegan
One of my favorite dishes when I eat out to cuban is no loger something I can eat. I miss it, the flavor is insane! But I don’t miss the way meat makes the arthritis come back full force and then my hands begin to pound.
So I’ve been inspired to start making all my favorite dishes I can no longer have out to eat. A special treat for myself at home & a taste of the other food I use to eat and still miss.
This recipe I wrote down as I tossed items in. I was crossing my fingers it would all come together because I didn’t have a backup meal for dinner. My husband loved it so much.
Also if you guys like leftovers, this is great reheated and cold!
