Moroccan Ground Beef image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon Oil
1 piece Medium Onion, Finely Chopped (food processor?)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 pound Ground Beef
1-1/2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Cumin
3/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 cup Katamala Olives (10-12)
1/4 cup Golden Raisins
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 scant teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Cilantro (chopped)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes or so.
Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
Add beef and brown.
Mix in all of the spices plus the olives, raisins, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, simmering gently for about 10 minutes. Add a little stock or water if the mixture is getting too dry (depends on how fatty the meat is).
Stir in the lemon zest and chopped cilantro, and voila! ...or whatever is the Moroccan equivalent
I served this over brown rice pasta, but rice would also be great of course, or serve it with vegetables if you're not eating grains.
