Picadillo

March 4, 2011 By Delia



This is a traditional dish from the Philippines and Latin America. There are many variations depending on the country.

My sister loves the classic Filipino version, while I like to add green bell peppers. Others put some raisins and Cubans use olives and a wide array of spices for this dish. Be creative and do as you wish.

 

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 1/2 lb minced beef

6 cups beef stock or water

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

1 small carrot, peeled and diced

1 cup tomato sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

Pepper to taste

Bay leaf

 

In a deep saucepan, heat the oil under medium heat. Saute the garlic and onions for 2-3 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the beef and cook it for 8-10 minutes or until it is brown. Mix in the bay diced carrots and potatoes. Pour in the beef stock or water and add the bay leaf. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Stir in the tomato sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes or until you reach the desired consistency for the sauce. Season it with fish sauce and pepper. Serve warm with rice.
