Directions

• Mix all dry spices together in a bowl – cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure to mix well.

• Add capers, olives, bay leaves, and ¼ cup of wine. Cook for another 4-5 min
• Remove mixture from pan and set aside.
• Add meat to pan and brown. This should take about 5 min. If there is a lot of liquid in pan you can remove. Meat shouldn’t be completely dry, but you also don’t want it sitting in a pool of liquid. Liquid should not come above meat.
• Once meat is browned add sauce mixture back to pan. Also add remaining spice mixture (1 tablespoon) and ¼ cup of wine. Cook for about 4-5 min
