I am planning a vegan picadillio. A Cuban dish. I am making mine with tomatoes, red wine, veg chrizo, green olives , peppers, black beans and spices and brown rice. Traditionally, it does not have beans and has raisins and/or capers (and lots of real meat, yuck). It is quite tasty. I might try to write a recipe as I make it today.

This is the best I can come up with for a recipe. Not authentic.
1/2 cup cheap red wine
1/2 large white onion (chopped)
3 small bell peppers diced (or one large, I like to buy bags of small peppers)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 package veg chorizo
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 16 oz can of peeled tomatoes
about 3/4 cup sliced green olives with pimentos, not packed
1 heaping tsp cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder


Cook the red wine down for like 5-10 minutes with spices on low. Add garlic, onions and peppers and cook for 8-10 more minutes. Add soy chorizo and cook for about ten minutes. Add tomatoes and rinsed black beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add olives and cook for 15-20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Probably spaghetti again. I got some garlic and herb earth balance, so I might use that to make some garlic bread to go with the spaghetti.

Last night we had an Indian meal and it was so delicious even if I do say so myself. Some was homemade and some was from a restaurant. Butternut squash coconut curry, chana masala, lentil dhal, bombay potatoes and rice.:lick:

Can't wait to eat my left over lentil loaf with my glazed carrots and butternut squash.
