Categories     Beef     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup pure Spanish olive oil
1 medium-size onion, chopped
1 medium-size green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef, chuck or rump
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes or prepared tomato sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, optional
1 jalapeno (finely chopped)
1 small all-purpose potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives (may be cut in halves), drained
1/4 cup vegetable or peanut oil
FOR THE GARNISH:
1 large egg, hard-boiled and finely chopped
1/2 cup drained canned early sweet peas (I prefer LeSueur)
1 pimiento, chopped

Steps:

  • In a casserole, heat the oil over low heat until fragrant, then add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring, 10 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring until brown, 10 to 15 minutes, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon. Drain off any excess fat. Add the sherry, tomatoes, salt, Worcestershire and Tabasco, stir and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, then fry the chopped potato until golden, 10 minutes. (If you prefer not to fry the potato, boil it over medium high heat unpeeled and halved, in salted water covered until tender, 20 minutes,and omit the vegetable oil.) Add the potato, raisins, and olives to the meat, correct the seasonings, and continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the picadillo to a large bowl or platter, place the chopped egg in the center, outline the border with peas, and sprinkle the entire dish with the pimiento.

This picadillo was easy to make and very flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

This picadillo was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it needs a little tweaking.

This picadillo was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I needed to add more liquid. Next time, I'll add some more tomato sauce or broth. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it needs a little tweaking.

I'm not a fan of raisins in my picadillo, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised that the raisins added a nice sweetness to the dish. I would definitely make this recipe again, even with the raisins.

This picadillo was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I added too much chili powder. Next time, I'll use less.

I've made picadillo many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the olives and raisins gives it a unique flavor that I love. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.
