Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and roast the sweet potato

Heat the oven to 425°F.

  • Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato into 1-inch pieces.

On a sheet pan, drizzle the sweet potato with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until the potato is tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, start the picadillo.

2

Prep the onion, capers, and olives

  • Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
  • Rinse the capers.
  • Thinly slice the olives crosswise, checking for any pits.

3

Prep your protein

  • Ground meat (including plant based): Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.

4

Cook the picadillo

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add your protein and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add the capers, picadillo sauce base, raisins, bay leaf, and ½ cup [1 cup] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until your protein is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the olives and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.

Serve

Transfer the sweet potato to individual bowls, top with the picadillo, and serve.
