Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 large, peeled and diced russet potatoes
- 12 ounces plant-based ground beef
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and add the plant-based ground beef to the empty spot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until browned.
Sprinkle smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the entire skillet. Stir everything together to coat the veggies and beef crumbles evenly.
Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping any stuck bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid, stir in the frozen peas, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
