"Ropa Vieja": Comfort food for the soul
As you walk into the kitchen, the air is thick with the mouthwatering
scent of garlic, green peppers, and onions sizzling in olive oil—a
rich, savory aroma that wraps around you like a warm hug.
The gentle sizzle from the stovetop mixes with your grandmother’s
quiet humming as she moves confidently around the kitchen, barefoot
and in her apron, creating her signature sofrito for the ropa vieja
she’s preparing.
Sunlight glints off the counters cluttered with spices and
ingredients, and the heat in the room carries more than just the
promise of a good meal—it holds years of love, tradition, and the
unmistakable smell of home.
