  4. This is nothing like my (cuban) family picadillo recipe. I think my mom almost had a heart attack. Ive seen a lot of comments saying this is "authentic", I honestly disagree with these comments. Still looks good though I guess.

  5. Raisins are a controversial ingredient. Some do and some don't. Never seen anyone use cinnamon though. It looked right but you are missing a key ingredient….. green peppers. Us cubans use that in almost everything. Love all your recipes (even when you forget the peppers)

  15. I'm puertorrican and even though this recipe is different to the one I'm used to, I think it looks delicious. Heck I hate raisins in empanadillas and pastel and I'm even willing to add raisins when I make this. Definitely missing some pegao (crispy rice from the bottom of the pot) and beans.

  20. As a Cuban myself, this is pretty close to authentic – except the cinnamon and cayenne (I know, you're obligated to put it in). I use crushed tomatoes myself. I'm not a raisin fan but my grandmother makes it that way and it's definitely the authentic way. A lot of people also add corn or tomatoes. And the olives – NOT OPTIONAL lol.

  22. If you want to reduce the texture of the raisins or currants, chop them up first. All the flavor but none of the weird texture. I throw some in marinara sometimes and don't like the texture so I usually hit them with a knife first.

  23. Belive it or not…I used this recipe with TACO And it turned out an '' Explosion of flavor ''
    Great recipe use it with spagetti or rice pilav or fill your Pita Bread with this and add some sauteed mushrooms and pickle WOW !

  27. I love Picadillo, however I have only ever made and had Mexican picadillo similar except with olives & raisins. Ours has onion, jalapeño, tomatoes and regions add carrots and green beans. But picadillo is comfort food for me I remember my mom making this as a child growing up with a warm flour tortilla

  40. I've been wanting to request this for about a week or so and I'm so glad you beat me to the punch. I love it with the raisins and understand the giant mushiness you find unappealing. If you ever want to revisit this, cube up a Potato and throw it in, or throw it in the oven before adding it in to simmer. I believe that's the Pueto Rican way, but I'm not 100%. My father is Cuban and I've had raisins in mine more than any other way but they're all equally delicious. Cheers.
