  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons bottled minced garlic
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup halved green olives
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in pork and sirloin; cook and stir until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease from the pot.
  2. Crush tomatoes by hand and add them to the pot with their juices. Pour in beef broth. Stir in black beans, raisins, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and cloves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until raisins are soft, about 30 minutes.
  3. Stir green olives and almonds into the pot. Simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.
