Hands down, this is one of my husband’s favorite recipes. As a matter of fact, this was the first meal he cooked for me when we were dating. His mother received this recipe when he was a child living in Key West, Florida. Since that day, I think it is safe to say that this recipe is an entire families favorite. The unique combinations of flavors is wonderful served with rice. It is also good as a filling for tacos or empanadas. The name picadillo comes from the Spanish word “picar” which means “to mince” or “to chop”. You will notice all of the ingredients are chopped and cooked together, a great combination. I like to serve various hot sauces with picadillo.
