Street Meat Friday

Street Meat Friday is the best day of the food week! Every Friday, I make a different meat dish from around the world. Today's dish was picadillo. It was very well received. Here's the recipe!

Picadillo

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 medium onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

500 g lean ground beef

1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ ground cumin

1 can Aylmer Accents Fire Roasted Tomatoes

1/3 cup raisins

¼ cup blanched almonds, toasted and chopped

¼ cup tomato paste

½ cup dry red wine

1½ tablespoons honey

1 bag Cavendish Farms Rustic Red Potatoes, cooked according to package directions.

1. On medium-high heat, heat oil in pan; add onions and garlic, cook, stirring, until onions are soft. Add ground beer, cook, stirring until changed in colour.

2. Stir in spices, tomato, raisins, and the almonds, cook, uncovered, three minutes. Add tomato paste, wine, and honey, simmer five minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated.

3. Add the cooked red potatoes to the beef mixture; stir to evenly incorporate ingredients, for about three minutes until evenly heated through. Enjoy!
