Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 small Red Bell Pepper, chopped
3 large Garlic Cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 small Bay Leaves
450 grams Lean Ground Beef
1/2 medium can of Stewed Tomatoes
1/2 cup Dry White Wine

1 Large Potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Directions:
Directions:
Add the oil, onions, bell pepper, and garlic to a frying pan over medium heat. Cook until the onions are tender. Add the oregano, cumin, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Continue cooking until the spices are well-absorbed. Add the beef, tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, potatoes, raisins, and salt. Break up the meat and tomatoes using a spatula. Partially cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Remove the lid and add the olives. Let the picadillo cook until most of the liquid is gone, leaving a thick sauce that coats the beef (about 10 minutes). When the picadillo is finished, stir in the olive brine (liquid the olives came in) and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
