Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries including Mexico and Cuba, as well as the Philippines. It is made with ground meat, tomatoes, and also raisins, olives, and other ingredients that vary by region. The name comes from the Spanish word
picar, meaning 'to mince'. Picadillo can be eaten alone, though it is usually served with rice. This is the version prepared in Puerto Rico.
Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
80ml
sofrito
500g lean minced beef
1 tsp
sazon seasoning
1 tsp
adobo seasoning
3 bay leaves
420g tinned
tomato sauce
60g pimento olives, sliced in half crossways
100g raisins
Method:
Place a pan over medium heat. Once hot add the olive oil and use to fry the onion and red bell pepper for about 6 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the sofrito and crumble in the minced beef.
Continue cooking until the beef has browned. To finish the picadillo, scatter over and stir in the sazón and adobo seasonings, bay leaves, tomato sauce, olives and raisins then bring to a brisk simmer.
Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for 10 minutes or until beef is fully cooked. Season to taste with salt.
