    Cumin seed, 2 tsp powdered
    Coriander seed, 2 tsp powdered

    Cornstarch 1 T.
    Water 2 T
    Golden Raisins .5 cup
    Green Olives .25 cup

Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to crockpot along with raisins and olives. Stir and cook on high for 15-20 minutes longer. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve in pita breads, in a wrap, or over rice.

Notes: It is traditional to have almonds in picadillo but my son can't have them so I left them out. Feel free to add .25 cup slivered almonds if you wish (but will add calories).

Many picadillo recipies also put in an apple (a tart one like Granny Smith is good) and you could certainly try that as well.

The carrot is not traditional here but I like to add as many veggies to my dishes as possible so I threw one in.
