Servings: 4
Dinner won't get any more budget friendly, easier or tastier then my Indian Spiced Mince with Peas. This is one meal sure to go on regular rotation. Gluten, grain and dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 30 g butter, ghee or coconut oil (2 tbsp)
- 1 onion/s (large) chopped
- 2 clove/s garlic - chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger root - peeled and finely grated
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt - or to taste
- chilli flakes - to taste (optional)
- 500 g beef mince
- 4-5 roma tomatoe/s - roughly chopped
- 150 g peas (1 cup) fresh or frozen
- ¼ bunch/s fresh coriander leaves - to serve
Serve
- Rice, quinoa or cauliflower rice (to serve)
Instructions
- In a large frypan or wok, heat the butter, ghee or coconut oil and sauté the onion over a medium heat for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic, ginger and spices and fry, stirring well for about a minute.
- Now add the mince and tomatoes and stir-fry until the mince is cooked.
- Add the peas and cook for a minute or two. Stir through the coriander and serve immediately.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Tip
- Other vegetables can be added to the mix when stir frying. Cut them small so they cook quickly with the mince.
Serve
- With rice or cauliflower rice (pictured here).
- I also serve with a leafy salad or steamed vegetables.
- It's lovely with a dollop of natural yoghurt too.
Make-ahead
- Re-heat in a pot or wok over a low heat until just hot.
Store
- Leftovers are great for school lunches (in the thermos) or even wrapped in a fresh spring roll.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Can also be frozen.
