TODAY'S RECIPE: Picadillo
Blog Commentary: Picadillo is basically a soup-like dish with a bunch of ground stuff (beef and pork) with potatoes and yummies. My main regret was putting too much fish sauce and not enough tomatoes. Eeek. Some picadillo, especially, ones in the stores, are more orangey and have a thicker paste (not as watery). However, this recipe and the picadillo my mom makes are a little watery. So if you want soup with some meat, you'll love this dish. Enjoy!
