JUST when you thought the city was safe, here comes the monster of all sandwiches!

I lived in the North End of Boston for years, and boy do they know how to make the best Italian fare!

Sopressata is an Italian dried Salami, but it can be substituted for any type of Salami you have on hand.

You don’t need to be Italian, to experience the sheer joy of the Muffuletta!

This recipe takes about 90 minutes and serves 4-6 people, and as Italians go…these portions are large!

The olive-vegetable spread is key to the flavors of this dish….I wouldn’t recommend just using mayo.

I also added a little lettuce and pickle to my sandwich, as I love an incredible crunch, with ever bite.

A Super-Tasty Stew With a Curious Name

Ropa Vieja literally means “old clothes” in Spanish, and though, as the name implies, it may not be the most elegant-looking dish in the world, but it has a nice splash of color and is chock full of great, savory Latin American flavor. And this version for the slow cooker makes putting it together super-easy and leaves the meat as tender as ever.

 

Some days, you just want a nice escape.  And though I enjoy my escapists shows and love reading a good book, now and then, eating the right sort of meal can be a nice adventure to another world, too.  I broke out my Crock-Pot yesterday morning to put this Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja together, and by the evening, I was enjoying a delicious stew and imagining myself in some humble but bustling cafe in Puerto Rico.  Latin America does know how to do comfort food.
