This is an Andalusian specialty called ropa vieja, or old clothes (in Cuba, the name describes a shredded flank steak braised in tomato sauce). Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet with a few cloves of minced garlic. Add some chopped meats, sausages, and vegetables from the cocido and stir for a few minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce and a little cocido broth and let simmer for a few minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with fried or poached eggs—my favorite breakfast!
