1/4 cup olive oil

1 1/2 pounds ground round beef

1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the meat, separating it into small pieces as you stir.
Add the bay leaf, salt, pepper, oregano, allspice and cumin and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, then add the cilantro, tomatoes, raisins, capers and olives, and mix.
