Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat and season with half the salt and pepper. Cook until you get some good color and most of the fat has cooked off. Once the meat is browned, remove and set aside.
  2. Add in the olive oil, butter, onion, red pepper and the remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then add in the garlic and cook for another 20 seconds.
  3. Add in the ground cumin, cinnamon, oregano and tomato paste. Allow them to toast for about 30 seconds, while stirring. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up the brown bits of flavor.
  4. Add in the olives, chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, olive brine and water. Add the meat back in and simmer on on low for 15 minutes, with the lid offset.
  5. Serve over riced cauliflower or the side of your choice.
