BlogCuba - Steve H.

Just when you though BlogCuba was all about politics and the embargo and Fidel and El Che, Steve H., fellow Miamian..ooops.. I mean Coral Gables-ian...of Little Tiny Lies blesses us with his version of Boliche, a Cuban culinary deliciousness. Order your pressure cookers now.....

INGREDIENTS

1 boliche

3 chorizos
3-4 big peeled potatoes suitable for boiling – red potatoes or Yukon Golds work
2-3 huge onions 1 red bell pepper
4 tbsp. minced garlic
¾ cup bitter orange marinade (look in the "Hispanic food" section
¾ cup dry red win3
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 ½ tsp. cumin
1 ½ tsp. oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Take a skinny knife or skewers and poke holes all over the meat to let the juice and seasonings in. Poke holes in the skins of the chorizos. Cut a channel through the center of the roast and stuff the chorizos in. Brown the meat, if you want.

Salt the meat heavily. Add spices, pepper, and garlic. Allow meat to sit so the salt works in.

Put meat, onions, and liquid ingredients in pressure cooker. Cook at 15-16 lbs. pressure for 60 minutes. Cool and open. Add sliced potatoes and sliced red peppers. Cook at 15-16 lbs. pressure for 8 minutes. Remove from stove and allow to cool before opening.

I followed up by slicing the meat and letting it sit in the sauce for a few hours.
