Directions:
• In a frying pan, brown the ground beef and drain off the grease. Put the cooked meat in a bowl and set aside.

• Once onions are done, add all other ingredients (except rice), mix well, and let cook about 5 min.
• Add the meat to the pan, mix well and let simmer about 15 minutes so flavors can meld (longer is better if you have the time so it will be more flavorful)

Personal Notes:
This is a quick and yummy one dish meal everyone will love. It's a contradiction of flavors between the sweetness of the raisins, saltiness of the olives and the Spanish flavors that work great together.
