This is a great Latin American sweet and spicy ground meat dish. It's great served plain with rice and beans, but also can be a filling for empanadas or tacos. and is EXCELLENT in baked pasta dishes like baked ziti ot lasagna. The list of ingredients is long, but it is quite simple to prepare.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 green chilies, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb lean ground beef
1 teaspoon goya brand adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons oregano
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups tomato puree
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Directions:
1. In a large skillet or a Dutch oven heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, chiles, and garlic. Saute until the onions are soft and transparent.
2. Add the beef and the seasonings. Cook until the beef is brown and crumbly, about five minutes.
3. Add the wine, tomato puree, raisins, and almonds. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until almost dry (you do want SOME sauce), this will take about 30 minutes.
4. Add herbs and enjoy.
