Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 cups basmati rice rinsed and drained
  • 16 ounces frozen peas
  • about half a bunch of fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard I used spicy brown, since that’s what I had on hand.
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cups water boiling

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or pot with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute. When they are nearly cooked through, add in the salt, turmeric and pepper and saute for several minutes.
  • Add the ground beef, and continue to cook, breaking it apart as you go, until it is cooked through.
  • Add in the rice, peas, parsley, mustard and honey, and mix everything well.
  • Pour in the boiling water, and stir.
  • Cover the pan with a lid. Cook for five minutes on medium heat, and then lower the temperature to low for 40 more.
