The truth is we are blessed with so many delicious ripe mangoes these days, we’ve managed to peel, slice, and freeze mangoes to last us til’ the end of the year. We also share our mangoes with friends and family.

While we love our mango milkshakes and smoothies, we also use ripe mangoes to make YUMMY desserts!!!!

With that said, can you guess what these are?

CLC (Coupon Loving Chicks) “Rock the Crock” with our D-LISH “Ropa Vieja” Crockpot Recipe!!!”

Ropa Vieja is another delicious Spanish dish. It is the “sister” of the Vaca Frita we prepared last week …and both are equally delicious!!!

Ropa Vieja

Ingredients

· 3 pounds skirt or flank steak

· 4 medium onions, sliced

· 2 bay leaves

· 4 garlic cloves minced

· 2 red pimentos

· 1 ½ cup white cooking wine

· ½ cup olive oil

· 1 packet Sazón Goya with Culantro and Achiote

· ½ teaspoon black pepper

· 2 green bell peppers (seeded and sliced)

· 1 tablespoon salt

· 1 can seasoned tomato sauce

· 2 teaspoons, oregano

· ½ teaspoon ground cumin

· 2 cups of beef broth

Make it

Place flank or skirt steak meat inside crockpot, add onions, green pepper, garlic, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, cumin, Sazón Goya, oregano and wine. Cook on LOW for approximately 6-8 hours. Remove the meat from crockpot. The meat should be very tender and should shred easily. I shred mine using a fork. Set meat aside in clean bowl.

Carefully remove the onions and green peppers and sauté them in olive oil in a frying pan. Add seasoned tomato sauce and beef broth. Prior to adding the meat to the sauce, discard the bay leaves. Add the shredded meat to the sauce, add pimentos, and cook over medium to low heat (while stirring) for approximately 15 minutes.

RopaVieja1

YUM – Que rico!!!

Tip: Serve with steamed white rice.

Followed by; “un pedacito” (a piece) of “Cuban Coffee Flan” …

RopaVieja3

…and “un cafecito con espumita” (a serving of Cuban coffee topped with a frothy foam we make with the sugar)!!!

If you were a Cuban man, all you’d need now is a rocking chair and a Cuban cigar,

“De aqui pal’ cielo!!!”

Which translates to: “From here to Heaven.” lol ;D

CLC (Coupon Loving Chicks) “Rock the Crock” with our D-LISH “Fricase de Pollo” crockpot recipe!!!”


Fricase1

Fricase de Pollo

Ingredients

· 1-3lb., chicken (cut into quarters, skin removed and rinsed)

· 1 large onion (sliced)

· 1 large green bell pepper (sliced)

· 3 garlic cloves (crushed)

· 1 can seasoned tomato sauce

· 1 teaspoon salt

· ¼ teaspoon cumin

· ¼ teaspoon oregano

· Garlic powder

· ¼ teaspoon black pepper

· 1 laurel leaf

· ¼ teaspoon paprika

· ¼ cup capers

· ¼ cup dark raisins

· ¼ cup white cooking wine

· 1 pound peeled potatoes (cut into large pieces)

· 2 ½ cups water

· ¼ cup bitter orange juice

· ¼ cup sweet peas

Make it

Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and bitter orange juice. Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours. Place marinated chicken inside crockpot and add all remaining ingredients except potatoes and sweet peas. Stir to combine ingredients. Cook on LOW 3 hours, remove crockpot lid and add potatoes and sweet peas and cover. At this point, I personally remove the chicken, shred the meat using a fork and place shredded meat back inside crockpot, however, you can leave the chicken pieces whole, if you wish. Continue cooking for approximately 5 hours. Total cooking time is approximately 8 hours.

Fricase2

Serving suggestions: Serve with steamed white rice and fried sweet plantains.

It tastes D-LISH!!!
