Picadillo, part 5

by Don  

Here's another version of picadillo. I've abandoned that vegetarian stupidity. I'm now convinced that carbs are the main problem in the American diet. Here's today's variation.

  • 2 lbs. hamburger
  • 1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 tbsp ground chipotle
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, sliced
  • 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • Chicken broth/water to cover

Fry the garlic in a bit of oil. Remove garlic. Fry burger and onions and cauliflower until the beef is done. Add the garlic back in. Throw in the chipotle, cumin, tomatoes, salt, pepper. Add enough broth to cover the mess. Simmer until the cauliflower is the consistency you like.

This turned out good. Next time I might make it spicier by adding some chiles tepines. The recipe is Atkins friendly.


2015-11-22: I made it again tonight. This time I added a packet of red peppers left over from a Pizza Hut delivery. Entirely edible.
