This is a wonderful Cuban picadillo recipe with ground beef and chorizo sausage. I serve it in a bowl (like chili), on a roll, or over cornbread.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 pounds chorizo sausage , chopped
  • 1 large onion , chopped
  • 0.5 cups chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic , chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups canned diced tomatoes
  • 0.75 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.5 cups raisins
  • 0.25 cups chopped pimento-stuffed green olives
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon capers , drained
  • 0.33 cups slivered almonds , toasted
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain some grease.

  2. 2

    Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, stock, and sugar; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add raisins, olives, vinegar, and capers to the skillet; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in almonds and lime juice, and cook until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
