PORK PICADILLO TAMALE PIE

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook, breaking up clumps with spoon. Stir in chile, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, pepper flakes and allspice. Cook about 6 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. Add onion; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
• Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, olives and capers. Season well with salt and pepper. Add water; reduce heat so mixture simmers. Simmer 15 minutes (sauce will thicken).
