Meaning mincemeat in Spanish, picadillo is traditionally made with beef or pork, but it's just as tasty with turkey. Served "Cuban style" over rice and beans or topped with taco fixings like lettuce, tomatoes and onions, it's an excellent use for leftover turkey that the whole family will love. For a spicier dish, add 1 teaspoon chipotle adobo sauce along with the tomatoes.
For a special supper, slow-roast a pork shoulder. Start the roast in the morning, and it will be ready for dinner. The skin crisps to crunchy cracklings, and the meat melts with juicy tenderness. Serve it with carrots butter-steamed in a slow-cooker, then finished with cream and olives. Add sauteed kale or a frisee salad and bread to round out the menu.
Simmering the balsamic vinegar both mellows and thickens it. When tossed with the hot pasta and the butter, it forms a smooth, uniquely flavored sauce.
