1 cup cooked white rice

1/4 cup dark raisins
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 drops hot sauce -- to 3 drops
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 garlic clove -- crushed
2 ounces pimento stuffed green olives -- with juice
3/4 cup crushed tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 unbaked pie shell -- double crust (if desired)

Preheat the oven to 500F.

Place all of the ingredients, except the pie crust, in a medium bowl and mix to blend thoroughly.

Place the mixture in the bottom piecrust, add the pie crust top if desired, then pierce with a fork several time. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350F and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

AuthorNote: Cubana is based on a Latin American dish called picadillo, in which raisins and olives are combined with meat to create a sweet-sour taste.

ChupaNote: double the chili powder. This recipe also makes great turnovers, hand pies, with egg roll wrappers. It is also a good stuffing for calzone. If the fat content in ground beef is a concern, replace it with ground turkey.
