Let me know your favorite side dish to eat Picadillo with! I love having mine with rice and maduros 🥳❤️
Adding water also helps to make a light gravy. (Vino seco is dry wine…)
I meal prep picadillo and black beans without rice. A Cuban chili of sorts. Solid balance of complex carbs and protein. Cannot recommend enough.
What's the difference between a Cuban style picadillo vs Puerto Rican picadillo
Did you drain the meat after it was fully browned?
What kind of pans are these?
I can’t wait to make this when the weather in Arizona gets a little cooler! The only time I’ve made picadillo, it had exactly these ingredients, and I’ve been looking for the recipe for years. I second the instructions to use the olives and the raisins. There’s just something about the two that make it divine. Otherwise, you’d just have a ground meat and potatoes dish!
Hi! How many potatoes? And for how long do you cook them before addding to the picadillo??
I think Picadillo without raisins and olives wouldn't be Picadillo.
Brings back memories of growing up in Tampa! One of my favs! Will definitely be trying this recipe! Thanks!
Made this for dinner tonight! Party 🎉 in our kitchen
Great recipe!
What's vino secco. It translates to dry wine. Use any dry wine? Or is there a specific one?? Red/white??
You had me going until the raisins
Lol
Good video though
Olive raisins is a must in Cuban picadillo mi jente!! You ain't Cuban if you don't!! Period!! It literally compliments each other in such a delicious way and the little potatoes too 😋😋
Thank goodness I found a video of Picadillo that is not a Filipino version.
Gonna try this..with deer meat! A Cuban in the mountains of GA!
Wow. No Sofrito or even Cilantro? still looks great though. going to try it. Thank you for sharing it.
I'm Gypsy and Italian but love cooking latin food. Your Picadillo is more Argentinian style dates instead of raisins.
Is this the cuban way ? Trying to make it for my husband the true cuban way ive made it for a few years now but I seen and tried so many different ways ..I was told by some one to add a bouillon cube even heard to add sugar
Beautiful this is the way my granma used to make it love ❤️ it with the raisins
My picadillo doesn’t taste the way it should… it taste a lot like ground beef. Could this be that I’m not using enough seasoning or salt?
Thanks for the recipe just made this for my girl and she loved it 🙏🏽
