PICADILLO DIP

Category: Dips - Hot

1/2 lb each ground beef and ground pork
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
3/4 cup chopped pimientos
2 cloves garlic, minced or put through a garlic press
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 or 2 jalapenos, stemmed and seeded, finely chopped
3/4 cup raisins
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

In a medium skillet, saute the meat with the onions until onion is clear. Pour off excess grease, if necessary. Add enough water to the skillet to barely cover the meat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.

Add all remaining ingredients except almonds. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in toasted almonds before serving.

NOTE: I like to serve this dip alongside Chile con Queso. Be sure to have plenty of tortilla chips on hand.
