Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Ground beef
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and set aside to drain.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the beef evenly.
Add the tomato paste and water to the beef mixture. Stir to combine, then lower the heat to a simmer.
Toss the spinach into the pan, a handful at a time, allowing it to wilt before adding more.
Once all the spinach has been added and wilted, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dish is well combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy with rice, flatbread, or on its own as a low-carb option.
