Picadillo

Thursday April 24, 2008
If you've never tried Picadillo before, you're missing out on something special! Picadillo is a unique dish that is served all over Latin America from Southern Mexico all the way to Cuba. Each country has it's own special additions, as well as each family adds their own special touches. In Mexico it is usually enjoyed in tacos, tamales or empanadas, but it can be eaten as a main dish in itself. The ingredients are not hard to find, you probably have most of them in your kitchen right now so plan on making some Picadillo for dinner tonight!

Thanks Chelsie, what a great recipe! I really like the addition of the raisins, piloncillo and olives. I think I’ll be making this for Cinco de Mayo.
