Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 can canned diced tomatoes (14 oz)
- 1 can canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, ensuring the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, beef or vegetable broth, and add the drained kidney beans and chickpeas. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
