Picadillo

Picadillo (Spanish pronunciation: [pikaˈðiʎo], "mince") is a traditional dish in Spain and many Latin American countries and the Philippines (where it is known as giniling, and also Arroz a la Cubana) that is similar to hash. It is made with ground beef, tomatoes (tomato sauce may be used as a substitute), and other ingredients that vary by region. It is often served with rice or used as a filling in dishes such as tacos, savoury pastries or croquettes. The name comes from the Spanish word picar, which means "to mince" or "to chop".

Costa Rican versions always include the name of the vegetable which represents the main ingredient to the dish (potato picadillo, ayote picadillo, etc.) and which is chopped and cooked with bell peppers, onions, , herbs and spices. It can include some type of protein but that is not essential. It is often served with tortillas or rice.

Cuban versions include peppers, onions, garlic, oregano, cumin, tomato sauce, , olives and on occasions raisins, potatoes, and capers, and is usually sauteed in olive oil and white wine, depending on the region. Cuban picadillo is served with black turtle beans and rice.
