Watching an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives inspired me to take a stab at a Cuban dish, Picadillo. It is kind of a Spanish version of an Italian bolognese style sauce usually served over rice. This is another adaptation that was made with ingredients that were laying around the pantry.

Picadillo Recipe:

Ingredients

1 lb Ground Beef
1 Onion Chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 spoon garlic minced
1 can Diced Tomatos
1 can Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup or so of White Wine
6 oz. of Spanish Olives
1 oz or two of Capers
2 pouches Goya Seasoning
1 Brown Rice Pouch

Directions

1. Put Olive Oil in pan. Then sweat onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes. Add ground beef and brown. Add the Goya Seasoning and any other spices at this point.
2. After meat is browned, add Olives, Capers, all tomatoes and wine.
3. Simmer for 30 minutes or more
4. Serve over rice.
