Ingredient Substitutions
Substitute golden raisins or currants for the regular raisins in this
rich main dish. You could also use just about any type of olive,
including kalamata and garlic-stuffed, and any kind of nut:
walnuts or pine nuts would be a good choice. And you could use
ground chicken or turkey instead of ground beef.
