This recipe is packed with wholesome ingredients like pumpkin, green beans, spinach, and ground beef, and it's flavored with a wonderful blend of spices and herbs.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the diced pumpkin on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, then sprinkle with the chili powder.
- Toss to evenly coat the pumpkin, then spread them out in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it begins to brown.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, dried coriander, and paprika to the beef. Stir to combine well.
- Continue to cook until the beef is fully browned and the spices are fragrant.
- While the beef is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- Blanch the green beans by adding them to the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender.
- Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted pumpkin, cooked spiced beef, blanched green beans, chopped spinach, spearmint, coriander leaves, and dried cranberries.
- Toss gently to combine everything well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Divide the mixture among serving bowls.
- Optionally, you can garnish with additional fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of freshness.
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the ground beef with the spices for an hour before cooking.
- Make sure to evenly coat the pumpkin in chili powder before roasting to ensure a balanced flavor.
- To retain the bright green color and nutrients of the green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then immediately transfer them to ice-cold water before cooking.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative or chickpeas.
- Add a sprinkle of feta cheese on top of the bowl for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
