Picadillo

Saute garlic and onion in oil. Set aside. Cook ground beef/pork/chicken in oil until brown.

If you want potatoes to be a bit crunchy you may cook them in oil too before mixing it with cooked ground meat, carrots and green peas.

Add water/beef broth and bring to boil. Add raisins and olives. Pour tomato sauce and tomato paste and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until sauce reduces.

Season with oregano, salt, fish sauce and black pepper. Best served with white rice or corn bread and fried plantain bananas.
