Sweet and Savory Slow Cooked Cuban Picadillo

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

There is not one Cuban dish I have tried that I didn’t like and this one is no exception.  This is a no fuss Cuban-style hash recipe using lean meat and flavors that will create a party in your mouth.  The slow cook process also lets the flavors slowly blend in. Traditionally, it is served over white rice but you can replace with brown rice to bump up the health factor.
