1 pound hamburger beef (could also be chorizo, which is Spanish sausage)
2 tablespoons cooking oil or olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1 small can tomato sauce
1 small box raisins
Chopped olives, to taste
1/4 cup (cooking) dry white wine
Salt and pepperThe beef should be thawed, if frozen, set aside. In a large saute pan, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and pepper and saute. When they're soft, add the oregano, tomato sauce, raisins, and chopped olives. This should be at medium heat from now on. Add the ground beef.
Pour the wine over the beef mixture and cover to cook through. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Once its almost cooked, uncover, and let dry up to a juicy but dry look to it.
Never use if it is runny. That's the trick.
