This dish is awesome served with rice. It's comforting on a cold night and can be served for a casual or a fine dinner.

Ingredients
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Quarter of a Green Bell Pepper
  • Quarter of a medium onion
  • Dash of Cumin
  • Season all salt
  • Small can tomato sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Splash of red cooking wine
  • 1 lb ground turkey or ground beef

Directions
  1. 1. Put garlic cloves, bell peppers, and onions in a food processor and blend until everything is finely chopped. (just do by hand if you don’t have a food processor).
  2. 2. In a pan head up approx 2 tablespoons of olive oil on med heat.
  3. 3. When the olive oil is hot add the garlic cloves, bell peppers, and onions (The mixture of these 3 ingredients is called Sofrito and it is basis for almost all Cuban/Spanish dishes….you will need to make the same thing for the other dish)
  4. 4. Heat the Sofrito until it starts browning slightly…you might need to add a little bit more olive oil if you notice that its drying out and burning.
  5. 5. Add the cumin and season all to the Sofrito as it is cooking in the olive oil.
  6. 6. Once the Sofrito has cooked add the meat and cook until done
  7. 7. Once you have browned the meat add the bay leaf (not super necessary) and the can of tomato sauce…I usually add some red cooking wine to the can and stir it around so I can get all the tomato sauce out of it…plus the wine adds some good flavor. Not too much though
