Picadillo

As this is the only recipe that worked out, it's the only one I'm going to post until I tweak the ingredient measurements a bit better to actually give you something you can work with. At the very least, make some french fries and serve it up with the Picadillo! Yum. I plan on re-trying the Natilla and Yellow Rice over the Christmas holiday, so within a few weeks I should have links to them.


1 onion chopped
1 large tomato cut up
2 bay leafs
½ green pepper – sliced lengthwise
¼ cup olive oil ½ to 1 can of tomato sauce
1 lb ground beef/ground turkey
black pepper
salt
fresh garlic minced
garlic powder
2 tablespoon of vinegar or wine vinegar
½ teaspoon of oregano

In a pot add onions, bay leafs, green peppers, minced garlic, oregano and olive oil, let cook for a few minutes. Pour in tomato sauce, vinegar and let it boil. Season the meat with salt, black pepper, garlic powder. Put in the pot and stir on medium low heat, then lower to low heat and cover and stir occasionally.

You can add green or black olives, 5 minutes before meal is done, or also fry some potatoes for french fries, let drain on paper towel then again about 5 minutes before meal is done, add the fries. Or, serve it with Yellow Rice.
