Um, yeah. THIS happened. I was playing around with the idea if healthier versions if the Shamrock Shake. A bit of Googling gave me a bunch of recipes that seemed all too complicated. I thought I could come up with a quick and easy version.
This is my take on my mom's Picadillo con Carne recipe that she always made for us when I was growing up. Since I became vegetarian 8 years ago, it's been a while since I've had my mom's version! But I visited recently and was able to make this out of some things she had around the house.The key ingredient in vegan-izing the recipe is finding a suitable sub for the Carne de res (not that I'm vegan, but there aren't any animal products involved besides the beef!)
