Vegan Jamaican Style Picadillo
Spicy Latin American hash with rice, beans, veggies, nuts, raisins...
From Robin Robertson' cookbook, Vegan Fire and Spice
SV NOTE: All the Vegan Fire and Spice recipes are sturdy, easy, and flexible - especially Picadillo, a deliciously spicy Latin American style hash with rice, beans, veggies, nuts and raisins.
Picadillo is incredibly flexible! I left out the onions,substituted green beans for peas, cashews for almonds, olives for raisins, green curry paste for curry spice, olive oil for canola oil, and half a jalapeno pepper for the hot chiles. I used more cumin, and less cayenne. And it was still extremely delicious!
The recipe below is as written in Vegan Fire and Spice, but Robin says you should feel free to play with it - or any of her recipes.
