We’re thrilled to share the recipe for Chef André’s mom’s Filipino Ground Beef Picadillo. Our kitchen uses a recipe written for 2,000 to prepare this for our clients, but don’t worry!– we rewrote this for four.
Picadillo is a dish found in the traditional cuisines of many Latin American countries and also in the Philippines, made of ground meat and other ingredients that vary by region. The name comes from the Spanish word picar which means to mince. Ours is filled with beef, veggies and delicious spices, like sustainably sourced smoked Paprika which we buy from our friends at Burlap and Barrel. Our clients love it because it is high in flavor and low in salt. The minced meat is also easy for most of our clients to chew. We serve it with garlic and egg rice. Our nutrition department says that this dish brings together low-fat beef, assorted vegetables, and rice to create a complete meal that is not only nutritious and delicious, but also full of love.
