Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
06 Step
Recipe View
Serve hot over black beans and rice, with a side of fried plantains.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of sherry vinegar or a tablespoon of capers towards the end of the cooking time.
Feel free to adjust the amount of raisins and olives to your preference.
Picadillo is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the pot along with the bell peppers.
