Why Picadillo deserves more attention

Picadillo rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The citrusy from mojo complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using sofrito tomato base correctly takes real skill.

Cuban cuisine reflects Spanish, African, and Caribbean indigenous influences. I encountered it first in a roadside food stall and that context helped me understand it properly. guarapo sugarcane juice is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Picadillo is the dish to start with.
