Picadillo · Miami
Cuba's everyday weeknight dish: a savory-sweet hash of seasoned ground beef cooked with sofrito, capers, green olives, raisins and dry sherry, served over rice with plantains and black beans.
Picadillo evolved in Cuba from Spanish-Mediterranean origins, with the sweet-savoury contrast of raisins and olives an Iberian Sephardic touch that crossed to the Caribbean in the 17th century. The Cuban version codified through the 19th century and remained the everyday dish through the Republican era. After 1959 the Miami exile community made it the home-style benchmark of authentic Cuban cooking. Versailles and La Carreta both run versions; the canonical Miami version uses ground chuck, a generous sofrito, capers, sliced green olives, golden raisins and a splash of dry sherry.
