Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook while breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Once the meat is browned, stir in the zucchini, carrots, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
Add the tomato paste and stir well to combine with the meat and vegetables.
Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish.
Serve hot and enjoy your savory ground meat and vegetable skillet!
