Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Easy One Pan Tex Mex Style Minced Beef







Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
500 g (1.1lb) minced beef (10-15% fat)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 onion peeled and finely diced
1 red bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
3 cloves minced garlic peeled and minced
3 tablespoons Fajita seasoning mix
1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 beef stock cube crumbled
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce - I use Franks hot sauce
2 tablespoons tomato puree (paste in USA)
400 g (14oz) jar passata
400 g (14oz) tin black beans drained
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
120 ml (½ cup) water
150 g (1 ½ packed cups) grated mixed cheese (I use a mixture of cheddar and red Leicester)


To serve:
Boiled rice
Finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
Sliced jalapeños
Chopped avocado
Chopped baby tomatoes


Instructions
1. Add the oil to a frying pan (skillet) over a med-high heat
2. Add the minced beef, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until the beef is browned breaking up any large bits as you cook the beef.
3. Add the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper and garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add the fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, beef stock cube, hot sauce and tomato puree and cook for another 2 minutes stirring continuously. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
500 g (1.1lb) minced beef (10-15% fat)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 onion peeled and finely diced
1 red bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
3 cloves minced garlic peeled and minced
3 tablespoons Fajita seasoning mix
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 beef stock cube crumbled
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce - I use Franks hot sauce
2 tablespoons tomato puree (paste in USA)
400 g (14oz) jar passata
400 g (14oz) tin black beans drained
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
5. Add the passata, black beans, sugar and water. Stir everything together, bring to a simmer, turn down the heat and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
6. Sprinkle on the cheese, place a lid (or foil) on the pan and cook for a final 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt (if you don't have a lid, just cook for a couple of minutes longer, or you can place under a grill/broiler if your pan is grill-proof.
7. Serve over boiled rice, topped with a sprinkling of fresh coriander. I like to top with sliced jalapeños, avocado and chopped tomatoes too.

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Lyonnaise Potatoes

Lyonnaise Potatoes

written by ASHLEY FEHR, the recipe rebel

PREP TIME5minutes 
COOK TIME40minutes 
TOTAL TIME45minutes 
CUISINEAmerican
COURSESide Dish

SERVINGS4
CALORIES221cal


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Little potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 small yellow onions (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh parsley for garnish


Directions

  • Cut potatoes into 1/4" thick slices. Place in a large pot of cold water and add 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Bring to a boil and boil 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and spread onto a paper towel lined plate to dry and cool slightly.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with canola oil. Add half of the onions and cook until translucent and tender.
  • Add half of the parboiled potatoes to the onions in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and potatoes are crispy (not every potato will be crispy, but there should be a good amount of browned edges).
  • Remove potatoes and onions to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining onions and potatoes. When the second batch of potatoes are crispy and golden, stir the first batch back into the pan to heat through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before
