Recipe Rumble

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed with garlic press
1 pound extra-lean ground beef (96% fat free)
1 can (15 to 19 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes with tomato puree
1/4 cup dark seedless raisins
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped pimiento-stuffed olives (salad olives)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:
In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and cook six to eight minutes or until tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook one minute, stirring. Stir in ground beef, breaking up meat with side of spoon; cook five minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Stir in beans, tomatoes with their puree, raisins, olives, tomato paste, vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer eight to ten minutes or until slightly thickened. Recipe makes six servings.

This spicy dish of ground meat cooked with tomatoes, garlic, and onions is popular in many Latin countries. It's lightened it up by using extra-lean ground beef mixed with black beans. Serve with warm low-fat flour tortillas or rice.
