Lentils With Ground Beef And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and onions; cook and stir until onion is browned and beef is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add curry powder and cinnamon; mix well. Pour in beef broth and bring to a boil.
• Add rice and lentils. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Add half of the beef and cook until brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef. Add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary, and oregano to the pot. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Return the beef and any accumulated juices from the bowl to the pot. Add the broth and tomatoes with their juice. Bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the meat is just tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Add the lentils. Cover and continue simmering until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the soup, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
