Picadillo With Rice

1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1 can (14.5 oz.) recipe-ready diced tomatoes in juice
2 T. tomato paste
1/4 C. dark seedless raisins
1/3 C. stuffed green olives, sliced

3 C. hot cooked brown or white rice

Lightly coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, cinnamon, oregano and cumin; cook 30 seconds. Add beef; cook, stirring to break up clumps of meat, until beef is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, raisins, olives and salt. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Lower heat; simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Serve over rice.
