I'm not sure if I did something wrong - but they're very heavy ... not light at all and not crispy on the outside. The flavor is wonderful -- so I"m wondering what I've done wrong. I will definitely make again because I think they deserve a 2nd chance.

Cuban Ropa Vieja

Reviewed: Mar. 3, 2009

I *love* Ropa Vieja ... and although I always swear that I'm going to order something different when I go to a Cuban restaurant - I never do. This is really good. The recipe would be wonderful as is - but I just amended it a little for my own tastes. I don't remember having Ropa Vieja without green olives in it - so I did add them. I also used the olive juice in place of the white vinegar - since that's basically what it is, anyway. The other thing I did was to increase the onions. I don't think that I "doubled" them, exactly - but probably close to it. I'm adding this recipe to my files!

Cream of Almond Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2007

to the first reviewer - NO! LOL ... Almond paste is a mixture of almonds and SUGAR ... Almond butter is ground almonds. The soup should not have been that sweet.(I have not made this recipe -- but wanted to respond to the original reviewer ... looks like a good recipe, though)
