👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Pat the lamb chunks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Drying the meat ensures a better sear. - 2
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb in batches until browned on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 3
Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. - 4
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 5
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
- 6
Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer and reduce by half.
- 7
Return the lamb to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the liquid mostly covers the lamb. - 8
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and easily shreds.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Check liquid levels periodically and add more broth or water if needed. - 9
Once the lamb is tender, remove it from the pot. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding bones and excess fat. Return the shredded lamb to the sauce.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Allow the lamb to cool slightly before shredding for easier handling. - 10
While the lamb is cooking, prepare the Arroz Moro. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, combine rinsed rice, rinsed black beans, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Adjust seasoning of the Ropa Vieja sauce if needed. Serve the Ropa Vieja de Cordero over Arroz Moro, garnished with fresh cilantro.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Using lamb shoulder provides the best flavor and texture for shredding.
- ✓Don't rush the simmering process; slow cooking is key to tender lamb.
- ✓For a richer flavor in the Arroz Moro, you can use some of the liquid from the Ropa Vieja stew instead of plain water.
