Ingredients:

2 eggs (optional)
1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey breast
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallions, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped pitted green olives
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Method:
If using eggs, place in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a
boil; simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes. Drain; let cool; peel and slice.
Meanwhile, cook meat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat,
crumbling it with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a colander; drain off fat.
Add oil to the skillet. Add onion, 1/4 cup scallions and garlic; cook over
medium heat, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chili
powder, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne; cook, stirring, until fragrant,
about 1 minute. Add raisins, olives, tomato paste, water and the browned meat;
stir to blend. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for
10 minutes. Season with pepper. Garnish with the remaining scallions and the
hard-cooked eggs, if desired.
