Servings: 2
- 1 red onion chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 200g beef mince
- 100g long grain rice
- 1 red chilli chopped fine or 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 500ml chicken stock
- 200g tinned tomatoes
- Squeeze lemon juice
- Yoghurt chopped mint or parsley for garnish
- Drizzle of good olive oil
Cook rice according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
Fry onions in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chilli, oregano and another splash of oil and saute for a couple more minutes or until spices are fragrant.
Heat a frying pan with a little oil and add beef mince along with a good sprinkling of salt. Fry until browned and slightly crispy (frying the mince until crispy causes caramelisation and when added to the soup base will produce a richer flavour).
Pour in the stock and tinned tomatoes, break tomatoes up with a wooden spoon, bring to the boil then simmer for 10 – 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Remove from the heat and squeeze in lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with yoghurt and chopped mint or parsley. Drizzle with good quality tasting olive oil.
