Ingredients

Scaled 0.5

  • Peppers
  • 3-4 bell peppers (we like non-green best)
  • 1.5 T / 18 g olive oil
  • 0.5 c chopped onion
  • 0.5 lb / 227 g ground beef (mince)
  • 0.5 c half cooked rice
  • 0.25 c peeled chopped tomatoes
  • 1.5 T chopped parsley
  • 0.5 t ground cumin
  • 0.75 t / 5 g salt

  • 0.5 t ground black pepper
  • 4 oz / 113 g tomato sauce (pasata)
  • 0.25 c / 57 g water
  • 0.5 t ground cumin

This really is a quick meal to prepare, even though the cooking time is fairly long. To me, it is the perfect use of cumin. The tomato and peppers really let it shine.
