This recipe is on a sheet cut out from a magazine years ago. I think it's probably family circle, but not certain. Made it quite a lot for a while, but then stopped. We seem to be returning to our old favourites here for a while. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons oil |
1 large onion, sliced |
3 garlic cloves, crushed (i use the lazy garlic in a jar, 3 tsp) |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 1/4 teaspoons ground coriander |
1 1/4 teaspoons garam masala |
1 1/2 lbs minced beef (i use whichever mince i have on hand) or 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (i use whichever mince i have on hand) or 1 1/2 lbs ground lamb (i use whichever mince i have on hand) or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (i use whichever mince i have on hand) |
19 fluid ounces beef stock |
12 ounces basmati rice |
6 ounces spinach, roughly shredded |
4 ounces sultanas (i leave these out by preference) |
2 ounces whole almonds |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a LARGE pan, add the onion and fry for 3- 4 minutes until softened.
2. Add the garlic and spices and fry for another 3 minutes.
3. Add the minced beef and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until all the meat has browned.
4. Add the stock and bring to the boil.

7. Add the spinach to the rice and cook for just 30 seconds.
