Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 potatoes
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 green bell pepper, minced
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
2 cups dry red wine
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
⅔ cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, drained and chopped
½ cup capers, drained
¼ cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot with enough water to cover; season with salt. Bring the water to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and cook the potatoes at a simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Crumble the ground beef into the onion mixture, breaking the meat into smaller pieces as you mix; cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain as much fat from the mixture as possible.
  • Stir the red wine, tomato sauce, olives, capers, golden raisins, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the ground beef mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the wine had reduced significantly, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Peel the cooled potatoes and cut into chunks.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the potatoes in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the simmering ground beef mixture; cook together 5 minutes.
