Boiled Rump Roast
CueteInspiration for this recipe came from Dolores L. Latorre's fascinating and informative book, Cooking and Curing with Mexican Herbs. The recipe comes from the state of Coahuila in northern Mexico. I use rump roast instead of the eye-of-round in the original recipe and made a few changes in the marinade and cooking broth to achieve a flavor that I prefer. The meat can be served with vegetables as a pot roast, and it's great for tacos, tostadas, and sandwiches.
