Next time you have some lean or extra-lean ground beef, try this spicy Indian-style dish instead of the usual chili or Bolognese sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 12 ounces extra-lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste, no salt added
  • 1 cup frozen peas

PREPARATION:

Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook onions, garlic and carrots until onions are translucent. Add curry powder and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Crumble in ground beef and cook over a medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in peas and cook for 5 more minutes. Serve over a bed of Basmati or whole grain rice.
