List of Ingredients




2/3 cup dark raisins
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 cup seeded and coarsely chopped red bell peppers
2/3 cup coarsely chopped yellow onions
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound lean ground beef
1 28-ounce can unsalted peeled whole tomatoes, including the juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder


Recipe



Place the raisins in a small saucepan of boiling water to soften. Stir for a few seconds, then drain and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and stir until it turns pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Remove the rice and place in a small bowl.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat 2 more tablespoons of the oil in the same skillet and cook the red peppers, onions, garlic and ground beef, mashing the meat with a fork to break up any large pieces. When the meat is completely browned, pour in the whole tomatoes with their juice, breaking them up into coarse pieces with a spoon. Add the salt and spices. Stir well and remove from the heat.

Coat the bottom and sides of a casserole or Dutch oven with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the sauteed rice, drained raisins and cooked meat mixture. Mix well and bake, covered, until the rice is soft, about 1 hour. Serve hot.

Serves 6.
