Hi all, I had been craving my gramma's picadillo so I e-mailed her for the recipe. Her response (below) was interesting but it got me Picadillo. Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries. It is usually with beef, tomatoes, and other ingredients that vary by region. Cubans, however, make it with pork. It is typically served with rice and tortillas. The name comes from the Spanish word "picar," which means "to mince" or "to chop". From the horse's mouth: Se pone a cocer la carne Puede ser arriachera o lomo ( te recomiendo arriachera ) Se pone a cocer con un pedazo de cebolla y 2 dientes de ajo, se le saca despues la cebolla y el ajo, se pone a desebrar. Luego se pone a cocer chile rojo california "seco" ancho y se muele en la licuadora y lo cuelas en el colador. Despues cortas la cebolla por mitad y cortas julianas (como lunas que se desgajan) las apartas despues cortas tomatillo tambien como la cebolla
