How to Make Picadillo
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until the onion is tender and the meat is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup chopped green olives, 1/4 cup chopped red olives, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped) and 1 red bell pepper (chopped). Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp.
- Serve hot over rice, with crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
