1

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Pit the green olives and halve them. Set all ingredients aside.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

5

Stir in the cumin, then add the canned tomatoes, green olives, raisins, ketchup, and red wine vinegar.

6

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve over rice, with black beans, or alongside fried plantain slices.
