Picadillo has its origins in Spain, but it has been adapted and modified over the years by Cuban cooks to suit local tastes and ingredients. Picadillo is a versatile dish that can be made with various ingredients depending on regional preferences and what’s available. The base typically consists of ground meat (often beef), onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and spices, but additional ingredients such as olives, raisins, capers, slivered almonds or potatoes may be included to add depth of flavor.
Like many traditional dishes, picadillo is often associated with feelings of comfort and nostalgia. It’s a dish that many Cubans grew up eating, often prepared by their grandmothers or mothers.
We hope you enjoy this delicious Cuban dish as much as we do and that it connects you in a deeper way with our extended Cuban family. Learn how we’re helping children in Cuba at www.forwardedge.org/cuba.

Abdul Fahad (who goes by Fahad) lives with his parents and four sisters in a two bedroom mud house with a thatch roof. They have no access to electricity but have potable drinking water through Create Hope. There is no latrine and the village residents fetch water from a local dam until it dries up and then travel long distances to find more.
Fahad’s family was Muslim but through the love and influence of Create Hope, Fahad and his parents have accepted Christ. Both of his parents are unemployed and have no reliable source of income. His mother is disabled and cannot walk or do anything for herself. His father sometimes does small scale farming to provide for the family but not on a regular basis, as he owns no land. Create Hope helps provide food for Fahad and his family.
