Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked through, remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring until the mixture is well combined.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot. Enjoy this flavorful dish as is, or pair it with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides.
