PICADILLO (NO RAISINS)



Picadillo (No Raisins) image

Picadillo. We never liked the raisins in traditional picadillo because it made it too sweet. My friend grew up in Monterrey and her mother made it almost this way and I added a few other things.

PICADILLO



Picadillo image

Picadillo is one of the great dishes of the Cuban diaspora: a soft, fragrant stew of ground beef and tomatoes, with raisins added for sweetness and olives for salt. Versions of it exist across the Caribbean and into Latin America. This one combines ground beef with intensely seasoned dried Spanish chorizo in a sofrito of onions, garlic and tomatoes, and scents it with red-wine vinegar, cinnamon and cumin, along with bay leaves and pinches of ground cloves and nutmeg. For the olives you may experiment with fancy and plain, but rigorous testing here suggests the use of pimento-stuffed green olives is the best practice. A scattering of capers would be welcome as well.
