Very easy and fast to make. You may use rice instead of the couscous if you wish. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef (500 g) |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (15 ml) |
1 onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 carrots, julienned |
1/2 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons water (25 ml) |
1 tablespoon paprika, ground |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon cinnamon (5 ml) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (1 ml) |
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (796 ml) |
2 tablespoons tomato paste (25 ml) |
3/4 cup green olives, sliced (175 ml) |
2 tablespoons fresh coriander (25 ml) or 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (25 ml) |
2 cups cooked couscous, hot (500 ml) |
Directions:
1. In large skillet, sauté beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to plate. Drain fat from skillet.
2. Add oil to pan; fry onion and garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, red pepper, water, paprika, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, salt and hot pepper flakes; fry, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
3. Return beef and any juices to skillet. Add tomatoes and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in olives and coriander; heat through, about 1 minute. Serve over hot couscous. Serves 4.
