Cuban Boliche Roast

Submitted by Dawn399

"I had a live in housekeeper who prepared this roast. We called it Chela's Roast, but later learned it was Boliche roast. This recipe is a combination of a half English, half Spanish recipe I wrote down as she cooked the roast and a Cuban Boliche Recipe I found. The roast goes well with any Hispanic rice dish."

Irish, I haven't made this recipe yet. However all you need to do is put the rest of the ingredients over the roast.

I would like to try this recipe, and at the risk of sounding stupid,especially given the good reviews. . . What does one do with the oregano, bay leaves, paprika, tomato sauce, onions, and green pepper?

hey everyone try this recipe it's great. i love the chorizo in the recipe and the fact that its stuffed in the meat. i used a flank steak so the cooking time was considerably less. i had this for a few day as leftovers and added black beans. thanks for the recipe jason
