Description

A quick-to-prepare and flavorful one-pot meal with ground beef and long-grain rice, spiced with a delicious blend of smoked paprika and cardamom.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups water or beef stock
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
  2. 2
    Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. 3
    Season the meat and vegetables with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. 4
    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. 5
    Add the smoked paprika, ground cardamom, turmeric, and allspice to the pot. Mix well to coat the ingredients evenly and cook for 1 minute to "bloom" the spices.
  6. 6
    Pour in the entire can of diced tomatoes with their juice and the rice. Stir to combine everything.
  7. 7
    Add the 2 cups of water or beef stock to the pot, ensuring the liquid covers the rice and ingredients.
  8. 8
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
  9. 9
    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and serve hot.
