Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups White or brown rice
- 3 cups Water
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water and add it to a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
Stir in ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and keep warm.
In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Cook the apples for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Drizzle with maple syrup and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the apples are caramelized.
To assemble the Two in One rice bowl: divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a generous scoop of the spiced ground beef on one side and the caramelized apples on the other.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
