Boliche
Stuffed pot roast from Cuban cuisine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boliche (pronounced [bo'litʃe], also called boliche mechado)[1] is a pot roast dish from Cuban cuisine consisting of eye round beef roast stuffed with ham.[2][3] The stuffed roast is browned in olive oil and simmered in water with onions until the meat is soft, and then quartered potatoes are added.[4] Additional ingredients can include green peppers and various spices such as coriander, oregano and bay leaf,[a][4] and salt and pepper.[1] During the cooking process, the flavors of the ham and beef intermingle, and the ham can serve to baste the interior of the beef.[3]
