    Excellent

    What a GREAT comfort food dish -- and I'm not even Puerto Rican! This recipe was so soul satisfying ... especially paired... with the 'Moros y Cristianos' (rice & beans) dish from the same episode. I made a few modifications after reading from other reviews the need for more salt: During the boiling of the flank steak, I added a generous tablespoon of rock sea-salt. The resulting broth is far too salty to keep, but the meal comes out perfectly seasoned for the dish. Also, I didn't have sherry wine, so I added a bit of lager beer instead. Odd, I know -- but it tasted great.Read more

    The taste was dull, needs salt, a dash of chili powder and a small piece of chili... then the taste is amazing.

    This is a great platform for Ropa Veija. Everyone has there own version. You can also add garlic and onions. Sometimes I stir... in green olives or peas or parsley, we love this recipe!Read more
