Directions
Cuban Picadillo,Wonderful Cuban recipe for one of the best meat dishes there is. used to eat at this great mom and pop Cuban restaurant in my town and unfortunately they closed down. This was the closest I could get to their wonderful recipe !,Delicious. I first had picadillo at a local Cuban restaurant and loved it. So, I looked picadillo up on food.com/Zaar and found this recipe. I’m glad I did! used all of the ingredients listed except that used a 28 oz. can of tomato sauce instead of the 15 oz. can. I felt the ground meat needed more sauce to give the dish a fuller flavor than it would have had without it. I didn’t follow the cooking directions because they seemed odd to me and I don’t own a mortar. Instead, I sauteed the onion and pepper first, then added the minced garlic, a minute later I added the sauce, and a minute after that I added the ground beef and remaining ingredients. I did also slice the green olives in half, since children were going to eat this dish. I cooked this meal covered on low heat for an hour, stirring frequently to keep the dish from sticking. I served over white rice with red beans and cilantro on the side. My husband loved this dish and told me it was a good idea to have added the extra tomato sauce. My kids were one for two. Thanks for a lovely meal that I will be making over and over again!,My family loves this meal! I make it with half ground turkey and half ground beef. I also add a packet of Goya Sazon seasoning and some Adobe. Amazing!!!
