COSTA RICAN PICADILLO



Costa Rican Picadillo image

You will love this wonderful, versatile, comfort dish, which is similar to hash. Picadillo has lots of uses; serve with rice, tortillias and fruit, or as a filling for empanades, enchiladas or arepas. This is another recipe were you can use the Lizano Sauce that I posted with the Chicken Empanadas. Achiote or annotto powder, with it's unique flavor is used to color the rice. It is an affordable alternative to saffron.

  • As with most recipes, this one starts with a sofrito. In a heavy saucepan, heat the butter on medium-low (Costa Ricans would actually use Numar margarine, but I prefer using butter over margarine).
  • While it’s warming, chop up the onion into very fine pieces and mince the garlic (I put it in a garlic press).
  • Raise the heat to a good medium and add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is transparent. You've just made your sofrito!
