This is a tasty picadillo recipe. Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries. This is for beef or vegetarian recipes.
It can be made with soy (for vegetarians) or meat.
For those following a Paleolithic diet, the soy version is not suitable. Therefore, if you need the meat version, simply substitute ground bison (or beefalo or beef) for the soy.
Recipe Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion, peeled and chopped
1 frozen box of Boca Crumbles (or equivalent)
If you don't want the soy, make this instead with one-and-one-half pounds of ground bison, preferably from animals raised on grass without antibiotics. (This will boost the amount of protein in the food counts.) You may also use beefalo or beef.
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 (16 or 14.5 ounce) can peeled & diced tomatoes including fluid
½ cup raisins
1 (5.75 ounce) jar sliced Spanish green, pimento-stuffed olives (drained)
Recipe Method
You will need a large iron skillet.
(a) Heat oil in skillet.
(b) Saute onion several minutes until soft but not brown.
(c) Stir in all other ingredients.
(d) Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about twenty minutes.
Yield: about 6 cups.
It's a variation of the national dish of Cuba. If you like olives, we predict you'll find it delicious!
