Picadillo Recipe beef or vegetarian picadillo recipes for weight loss
This is a delicious picadillo recipe. Picadillo is a traditional dish in Cuba.
This is for beef or vegetarian recipes.
It can be made with soy (for vegetarians) or meat.
For those for whom the soy is not suitable, 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 meat, preferably from animals raised on grass without antibiotics. (This will boost the amount of protein in the food counts.) Use bison, 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.

More about this picadillo recipe
Using this picadillo recipe is a way to be kind to yourself (and loved ones).
For all the benefits to civilization provided by the First Agricultural Revolution, it has proved to be deleterious to our health. Our prehistoric, foraging ancestors did not evolve eating foods such as grains, potatoes, and legumes.
Today those foods provide more calories for humans than any other foods! The result is the epidemic of the diseases of civilization such as coronary heart disease, which is the biggest killer, as well as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and others.
These diseases cause great suffering and many premature deaths -- and that is avoidable simply by eating and moving in ways that our bodies have been designed by nature to eat and move!
So, unless it is for a cheat meal, please be careful about putting picadillo on rice, buns, or other unnatural foods.
