Spanish Picadillo Con Arroz image

This is comfort food, from my childhood. It is my mother's wonderful recipe, that was probably passed on from my grandmother. Typically the Picadillo is made with raisins added as well. I have omitted the raisins in this recipe, as we do not care for them. However if you wish you may add a couple of tablespoons of raisins, at the same time you add the olives. This dish is served with the Picadillo on top of the rice. It goes lovely with salad on the side.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it palatable. I think I'll stick to my usual picadillo recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to add a lot of sour cream to cool it down. I think I'll try a different picadillo recipe next time.
