The Cuban dish Ropa Vieja or otherwise known as Old Clothes is made in the crockpot and is packed with flavor.
There are many versions of this dish and it can be made with pork or beef. This dish is best served with rice, black beans and plantains. It is also a good idea to choose a nice large piece of meat, because the leftovers are often even better than the first time around.
