Heat shortening in a heavy skillet, brown the meat with the green pepper and onion until onion is transparent, pepper is soft, and the meat nearly cooked through. Add the potato, tomatoes, sugar, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper and stir to blend, cooking a few minutes more. Mix in the olives. Cook for about 10 more minutes, stirring constantly.
