Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and just tender, about 6 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beef to the other side; season the beef with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring the ingredients together, until the beef is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the raisins and olives and remove from the heat.
Unroll the pie crust and center it over the filling; press the edge against the inside of the skillet using a fork.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce
Pie works really well with Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Totus Tuus Cava with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Totus Tuus Cava
Totus Tuus Cava shows bright aromas of peach, lemon, and orange zest, with a touch of licorice. The wine is concentrated, tactile and dense in the mouth, with a sappy, stony character to its citrus, pit fruit and anise flavors. Shows richness and vivacity in the mouth and the bright finish is long.
