Beef & Spinach Stew
This is an Arabic dish and I really don't have the proper name for it, so let's just go with Beef & Spinach Stew for now. This was provided by a good friend and he is asked to prepare this often by friends and family.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef, (1 lb)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 kilo frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and chopped, (2 lbs)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper, as desired
- lime or lemon juice, as desired
- cooked rice, as needed for serving
- olive oil, as needed
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil then add the onion and garlic, cook until the onion is translucent. Add the beef and brown that until just cooked through, breaking it up and stirring with the spatula.
- Add spinach and stir in, season with salt and pepper as desired, add the cumin and allspice. The spinach will wilt down. When wilted and tender, remove from heat.
- Serve over rice with a squeeze or splash of lemon or lime juice over the top.
Notes
Figure 150 Baht for the beef. For 4 servings this is about $1.10 per serving.
