INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 1/4 lb lean ground beef (at least 90%)
• 1 14.5 oz. can petite-cut diced tomatoes in juice
• 1/2 cup raisins, chopped
• 1/2 cup small pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced
• 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• Kosher salt
• Chopped cilantro, for serving

DIRECTIONS

• Cook the rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the beef, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, into very small pieces until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes (and their juices), raisins, olives, oregano, cumin, 1 Tbsp vinegar and 1/2 tsp salt and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the remaining Tbsp vinegar. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
