There are no doubt many variations of this recipe, it is a piquant, kind of sweet and sour spicy mince which can be served on it's own with rice or loaded onto fries, or you can use it to make empanadas or even papa rellenas which are meat-stuffed potatoes.

Dry fry the mince and onion in a frying pan/skillet until browned and the onion has softened.

Depending on your lid you may need to remove it towards the end.
Add lots of pepper and check for salt, depending on your olives and capers you may not need much.
Sprinkle with chopped coriander if you wish
