How to cook it · about 45 minutes

Start the rice. Warm the black beans with their liquid in a small pot over low heat.
Dice the onion and bell pepper and mince the garlic. Cook them in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes until soft.
Turn the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef and break it up. Cook 6 to 7 minutes until browned all over, then spoon off most of the fat.
Stir in the cumin, oregano and salt for 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, bay leaf, olives (halved if large) and raisins. Simmer on low, uncovered, for 15 minutes until thick. Pull out the bay leaf and taste for salt.
Serve the picadillo over white rice with black beans on the side.
