Ropa Vieja Bowl with smoked paprika

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the ropa vieja and let it smoked-paprika, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the oregano and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a handful of herbs and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
