Fogo de Siôn

Fogo de Chão is, to me, a very special now-American restaurant chain cooking meat over fire “churrasco style” and serving it up “rodizio style”.

Ropa Vieja Roulade

Another recipe inspired by the collective motivation of the Internet BBQ and food communities I participate in. This week’s challenge was “cook something Cuban”. Ropa Vieja literally means “old clothes” and the traditional way of cooking this is “as a stew” probably in a Dutch Oven or similar. I found this updated recipe and thought I’d give it a go.
