Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1.5 cups frozen peas
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Use a spoon to break it apart into small pieces.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper if using.
Reduce the heat to medium and mix in the tomato paste, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Add the frozen peas and water to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients, then cover the skillet with a lid.
Simmer the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until the peas are tender and heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the ground beef with peas hot, perhaps with rice or crusty bread as an accompaniment.
