Picadillo


   Ground pork or beef cooked with garlic, onion, soy sauce, tomatoes, and potatoes and frequently with carrots, raisins, and bell peppers.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
4 cloves garlic
1 medium white onion (chopped fine)
1 small green pepper (chopped)
1/2 cup beef stock
3/4 cup tomato sauce
2 small potatoes (peeled and diced)
8 to 10 green olives (pitted)
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil for sauteing

How to Cook:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • In a frying pan, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onions, green pepper, and garlic until soft.
  • Add the ground beef mixture, beef stock, and tomato sauce. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the diced potato. Cover and cook another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the cover. Add the olives and cook uncovered 15 minutes or until the liquid is fully evaporated, but the meat is still moist.
  • Serve the picadillo warm with rice.
