African Meat Pie Filling
This version is adapted from a lovely African-style empanada recipe that you should totally check out here. My disabilities prevent me from making empanadas so I eat it over rice instead.
Serves 2–4
Ingredients
1/4 cup canola oil
1 pound ground beef
1 cup frozen, pre-chopped onions (Or 1 medium onion)
~1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (The onions and garlic I use)
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder (optional)
1 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoon smoked paprika
4 green onion chopped (You can buy this pre-chopped in some grocery stores)
1/4 cup parsley (Or this whole container)
2 teaspoons pepper
Salt to taste
Tools
Large sauce pan
Spatula
Can opener
If chopping your own produce-
Cutting board
Knife
Steps
1. Heat up oil in the pan over medium-high
2. Add the onions, garlic, chicken bouillon, tomato sauce, and paprika then stir well
3. Simmer for ~10 minutes
Stir frequently to prevent burning. You can add ½ cup of water if needed.
4. Add ground beef, continue stirring, and cook for 10 or more minutes
Break the meat up into small bits and make sure there is no pink left
5. Add green onions and parsley
6. Salt and pepper to taste
7. Adjust other seasonings as-needed
My finished product! I could eat this stuff for days
