Beef and Lentil Stew

Posted March 11, 2006 – 1:36 pm in: Beef, Main Dish, Middle Eastern

I whipped this up a couple of nights ago, but I’m not sure what to call it; maybe some type of Middle-Eastern…? Any suggestions?

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 lb. ground beef
1 19 0z. tin lentils, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chili sauce (I used the Heinz brand)
1 tsp. fennel seeds
1 tsp. dried chili seeds
1/2 cup beef stock
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
cooked rice or couscous

Heat oil in fry pan and onions and saute over medium heat for 5 - 10 minutes. Stir in turmeric, cumin and cinnamon cook for another minute. Add ground beef. Break up with spoon and cook until meat is no longer pink. Stir in lentils, chili sauce, fennel seeds, chili seeds and stock. Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Add lemon juice and fresh mint and cook for five more minutes. Serve over rice or couscous.
