Vegetarian Picadillo Recipe

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium/high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 2 minutes or until tender. Add frozen soy "beef" and heat through, stirring occasionally to avoid soy sticking. Stir in tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne and cloves. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to absorb flavors. (Refrigerate at this point if you want.) When ready to serve add olives, almonds, raisins and cilantro and heat through. Serve with rice, corn bread or tortillas. 4 large servings.
