Made this for Jen and she loved it, has been asking for the recipe to be posted here. Of course, I lost it and it’s taken me 3 months to find it online again. So, saved here for all time…Ropa Vieja. Carribean/Cuban Beef Stew in the Crockpot. So named because when done right, the meat should ‘fray’ the way old clothes do in the wash.

My ideas, if the blueberries are perfectly ripe, save out a good handful or more to ‘garnish’ whole on top of soup. I might also substitue creme fraiche for sour cream.

Serve chilled with crackers. Great holiday dip for parties.

My tips, to make this more a milkshake consistency and to add protein, I add about 1/3 -1/2 block extra soft, silken tofu. You can’t taste it, but it makes it thick.
Nutrtion w/o tofu: 175 calories, 35 grams protein, 3 grams fat (0 saturated), 35 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 15 mg sodium.

Another recipe from a Jan. 1979 booklet of my mom’s. This one is credited to a Rene Grozenski in Taylor Mi.

From a Jan. 1979 booklet my mom found. Low fat, ‘diet’ version of rice pudding. Not tried.

not tried, will soon.
I think I’d opt for sliced, green onions instead of cilantro. Also, adding a 1/4 tspn cornstarch and water to egg works well for me.

Adaptation of recipe from local paper. I also add sliced potatoes.
Notes on cooking cabbage: to temper the odor try
-add a few celery leaves or a tsp. celery seed to the pot of simmering cabbage and cover.
-Prepare in a quick-cook manner, ie: stir fry
-Other ingredient to tone it down: sweet-and-sour sauce for baking leaves, brown sugar/cloves for red cabbage and white wine/bacon help reduce odor of green cabbage.

not tried yet.

I am not a huge liver fan, however, there are often times my body needs iron and protein and I find myself craving liver, which is a potent source of both these nutrients. This is a recipe in the process of evolving, my attempt to make liver palatable and enjoyable for those times I crave it. So far, this is easy and always satisfying, and gets rid of that heavy, gamey liver flavor.
I like to serve this over boiled Kasha; the robust and unusual flavor of that grain seems to complement liver instead of being “lost”.
