Pretty Quick Pinto Picadillo

I just discovered that the Quick-Fix Vegetarian cookbook is on Google books and the entire book is searchable! So, you can see every recipe that I've been making in this book, which is pretty sweet!

I made the Pinto Picadillo recipe this time around, which you can find here. This recipe is easy and has a very interesting flavor profile. The apple lends a nice, sweet taste to this dish, although my husband was a little put-off from combining apples with beans. Still, I recommend giving this dish a try.
Add onions, pepper and garlic to a large oiled skillet, cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, apple, raisins, olives, chili and seasonings. Simmer for 15 minutes, then serve over rice. Garnish with parsley and almonds if desired.I served this with some leftover broccoli from my pierogi meal.
