There's nothing more comforting than perfect picadillo! Chef Anthony makes his version with ground beef and the traditional green olives, capers, and golden raisins, plus a burst of flavor from sofrito, a mixture of peppers, tomatoes, onions, and garlic cooked down. Chef carries that zippy sofrito flavor through the dish and into a creamy polenta cake with chayote. A side of spicy tomato and jalapeño pico de gallo brings a pop of heat and acidity to round out this delicious dish.
