I consent to receive emails from A Family Feast * JOIN NOW! TRENDING NOW When my husband Jack and I decided to start sharing recipes here on A Family Perfect Pork Chops Easy Rotisserie Chicken Tacos Feast (nearly four years ago!), so much of the inspiration behind our recipes came from our families. There really is nothing like an old family recipe – with its familiar tastes and smells – to bring someone back in time. Today’s recipe – this delicious Filipino Picadillo – is a family recipe from our friend Virna. She was born and raised in the Philippines and later settled in the United States during medical school. Virna is a serious foodie herself – so when she raves Pan Seared Halibut with Lemon Caper Sauce Nutella Crunch Ice Cream Cake about a dish like this Filipino Picadillo – both Jack and I take notice! Filipino Picadillo Filipino Picadillo PIN THIS RECIPE NOW! https://www.afamilyfeast.com/filipino-picadillo/ Page 2 of 10 Filipino Picadillo - A Family Feast® 8/26/23, 3:53 PM Virna grew up eating this Filipino Picadillo. It was a dish that her father cooked for their family often – and today, when Virna makes it for her own family, it brings back fond memories of her dad. Many cultures have recipes for picadillo – each with their own unique differences. In the Philippines, picadillo (also called giniling which means ground meat) is made with ground beef, raisins, tomato sauce and diced potatoes, and we also added peas and carrots. It is served with white rice, savory fried plantains on the side, and a fried egg on top. https://www.afamilyfeast.com/filipino-picadillo/ Page 3 of 10 Filipino Picadillo - A Family Feast® 8/26/23, 3:53 PM As Jack made this wonderful recipe to share here on A Family Feast – he consulted Virna all along the way to make sure we recreated an authentic Filipino Picadillo. (I hope we did the recipe proud Virna!) This one pan skillet meal is great for a quick weeknight meal – and any leftovers reheat perfectly for a second meal the next day! Virna recommends eating this picadillo with a little hot sauce on top, but it’s equally delicious served on its own. PIN THIS RECIPE NOW!

Cook rice while preparing the dish. In a large skillet or sauté pan, over medium to medium high heat, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil and once shimmering, add potato and carrots. 51.6K SHARES Fry this for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should start to brown and be just shy of tender. Remove these to a bowl with a slotted spoon but leave oil in pan. Add remaining tablespoon of oil and onion and sauté for three minutes. Add garlic and sauté for one minute. Add the ground beef and ground pork and sauté for about eight minutes or until browned. Make a hole in the center and add tomato paste and stir that for one minute. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, raisins, fish sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic paste, water and reserved cooked potato and carrot mixture. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add peas, stir and remove from heat. In a fry pan, fry enough sunny side or over easy eggs as needed for each dinner guest. Serve by placing cooked white rice in a serving bowl, top with the Picadillo then top with one fried egg on top of each portion. Serve with Tabasco on the side along with Savory Fried Plantains.

Julie Timm ★★★★★ posted on 12/4/20 at 3:24 am I wouldn’t say this is the most common dish on a filiino table…but it’s definitely deicious and this version for sure has its own pinoy taste to it. Reply Martha posted on 12/4/20 at 7:17 am Thanks Julie Reply Nicole posted on 11/11/20 at 11:21 am Hi Martha! I’m wondering if you know the nutritional value without the eggs and plantains and rice and for any specific measurement? I started counting macros recently and your recipe is the closest I could find to how my Lola makes her picadillo. Thank you! (: Reply Martha posted on 11/11/20 at 11:31 am Hi Nicole – We use a tool called Nutrifox – I removed those ingredients from the calculation and it gives me 689 calories per serving (4 in the recipe), 24.5 g fat, 130 g carbs, 19.8 g protein – hope that helps! Reply Diane ★★★★★ posted on 10/23/20 at 2:42 am i made this dish yesterday using your recipe and i loved it! thank you for posting this! <3 <3 <3 Greetings from a Filipina in Germany Reply Martha posted on 10/23/20 at 7:00 am So glad you enjoyed the recipe Diane!!

Reply Morgan posted on 8/11/20 at 2:30 pm do you know the calorie per serving?? Reply Martha posted on 8/11/20 at 8:12 pm Hi Morgan – I just added the nutritional information to the recipe card. The calculation includes the plantains and egg served on the side. Reply Debbie M Yeager posted on 8/10/20 at 8:50 am Hello. I can’t rate yet because I havnt made it.

Reply Cookingflip posted on 5/8/17 at 1:12 pm Looks very authentic! And yummy too! Peas and carrots are really among the ingredients, unless there are regional variations which I do not know of.
