Giniling or Picadillo

Picadillo or Giniling

In the Philippines, this is one of the popular dishes prepared among the Filipino people, we call this recipe, "giniling" or grounded.  You can use a variety of meat for this recipe, I have seen people who used lamb, beef, chicken, and turkey. Several ingredients can be added or substituted, but for me, I like to keep it simple and as much as possible, less oil. So here's my recipe for you:
