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.
Ingredients:
3 -5 lbs eye of round roast
2 -4 chorizo sausage or 1 cup chopped ham
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup flour (may need more for a larger roast)
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic (sliced)
2 teaspoons oregano
2 -3 bay leaves
3 teaspoons paprika
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 large onions (sliced)
1 green pepper (chopped)
Directions:
1. Slice sausage.
2. Make a cut in roast length wise down the center and create a pocket.
3. Stuff with with sausage.
4. Cut smaller slits in roast and insert garlic slices.
5. Mix salt and pepper with flour and dredge roast in flour mixture.
6. In a large pan or dutch oven heat olive oil and brown roast on all sides.
7. (You aren't cooking the roast, just lightly browning it, the whole process should take about 5 minutes) Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients.
8. Cook, covered over low heat for 3 hours.
9. May add additional tomato sauce if necessary.
