A version of picadillo a la habanera / Una versión de picadillo a la habanera - loh contest week #271

Hello, my friends.

If there's one thing I love, it's cooking. I had to learn by force, for survival, but I grew to enjoy it. These days, I'm a huge fan of cooking shows like MasterChef and I follow many chefs on social media.
I love the idea of experimenting with recipes and new flavors.

The more unusual, the better; like this version of "Habanero-style picadillo" that I'm sharing with you today as part of week #271 of the contest hosted by @merit.ahama.

Habanero-style picadillo includes bell peppers, garlic, and onion as some of the main ingredients: all finely chopped.

And, of course, we need the ground meat. In this case, I'm using ground turkey.

Here we add tomato paste to the ground meat.

Although I prefer to prepare the sofrito with fresh tomatoes.

The difference between picadillo a la habanera and mine is that the original includes boiled potatoes and peas; mine is made with diced fried squash.

After preparing the sofrito and sautéing the picadillo with salt, spices, and a little wine, I add my favorite seasoning: pepper.

I love picadillo with pepper.

Once the pumpkin is fried and the filling is ready, mix them together, drain off any excess fat, and serve.

What's interesting about this recipe (for me) is that @elviguitarra and I discovered it almost by accident. It had never occurred to us to fry pumpkin until we tried it one day, and we liked it.

It's not the same as potatoes, of course. Pumpkin is sweeter and softer.

However, that sweetness is what caught our attention as a contrast to the flavor of the picadillo. So we tried it and we liked it.

Now, when we don't have potatoes on hand, we use this variation. I highly recommend it. It tastes delicious.

Hola, amigas mías.

Si hay algo que me gusta a mí, es cocinar. Tuve que aprender a la fuerza, por una cuestión de supervivencia, pero le cogí el gusto. Hoy por hoy soy fanático de los programas de cocina como MasterChef y sigo a múltiples cocineros en sus redes sociales.
Me gusta la idea de experimentar recetas y nuevos sabores.
Mientras más raras, mejor; como esta versión del “picadillo a la habanera” que les presento hoy como parte del concurso de la semana #271 presentado por @merit.ahama.

El picadillo a la habanera lleva pimientos, ajo y cebolla como parte de los ingredientes principales: todo bien picado en jardinera.

Y, por supuesto, necesitamos el picadillo. En este caso utilizo el picadillo de pavo.

Aquí le echamos pasta de tomate al picadillo.

Aunque yo prefiero preparar el sofrito con el tomate natural.

La diferencia entre el picadillo a la habanera y el mío es que el original lleva papa hervida y petit pois; el mío lo preparo con dados de calabaza frita.

Luego de preparar el sofrito y saltear el picadillo, con sal, las especies un poco de vino, le hecho mi condimento preferido: la pimienta.
Me encanta el picadillo con pimienta.

Una vez terminado de freír la calabaza y terminar el picadillo, mezclamos ambos, desengrasamos y servimos.

Lo interesante de esta receta (para mí) es que la descubrimos @elviguitarra y yo casi por accidente. Nunca se nos había ocurrido freír la calabaza, hasta que lo hicimos un día para probar, y nos gustó.
No es igual a la papa, claro. La calabaza es más dulce y blanda.
Sin embargo, ese dulzor fue el que nos llamó la atención como contraste con el sabor del picadillo.
Así que probamos y nos gustó.
Entonces, cuando no tenemos papa a mano, utilizamos esta variante.
Se las recomiendo. Sabe exquisita.

Sometimes those experiences that troubled us, actually refined us into gold so that, we make out something productive from our suffering and stress.
