A stew, traditionally with meat, vegetables and legumes is always a joy to eat and gives us a great energy boost. However, if you want to lend it that extra special touch, we suggest transforming the classic picadillo soup: add a few mint leaves and surprise yourself with the result. This healthy recipe is a new suggestion from Practicooking, a Fundación MAPFRE and Fundación Dani García initiative to make cooking healthy and enjoyable.
