I love the meat filling used for chiles en nogada, and today I also wanted to make Cuban picadillo. Since I didn’t have all the ingredients for either, I decided to try a new version. Honestly, I loved how it turned out. 😋✨

Steps

30 minutes

1

Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a small pot, heat a splash of olive oil and sauté them until soft but not browned. Add the ground meat and break it up with a spatula. I added the pork first, and when it was almost cooked, I added the beef. Next, add the chopped tomato.
2

Chop the apple and almonds. When the meat is cooked, add them and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and chicken bouillon powder.
3

When the apple is soft, add the red wine, sugar, and dried cranberries. Cook for 5 minutes. That’s it! Serve with toasted bread, baguette, or even use as a filling for empanadas.
