Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 500 grams ground beef or turkey
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 250 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground meat. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper; mix well to coat the meat with the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt into the curry.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
