I love olives, so much so that I am known to eat them out of the jar, Green Manzanilla olives being my absolutely favourite, I just love their salty unique flavour. Great in salads, in pasta, with any type of protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without any surprise, one of my favourite recipes to make is Cuban Beef Style Picadillo. If you have never tried this amazing dish, then boy are you missing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It reminds me of a corned beef hash but with much more flavour and a perfect hearty meal for any day of the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Cuban Beef Picadillo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I make no claims that my version is anything like a traditional Cuban Beef Picadillo. Sadly I have no Cuban roots in my family, so my own take on this yummy recipe is inspired by many different versions I have tried along the way, tweaking it to my own taste and flavourings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
