When discussing various methods of cooking ropas, a friend of mine told me her sister adds apple juice. I thought a Granny Smith apple might give the dish an extra kick-and it does. The ropas may also be served with hominy or tortillas, but I think the plantains add a special touch. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois
