Instructions
a) Boil a full kettle.
b) Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
c) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve, then pop it on top of the pan and allow to steam until ready to serve.
a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.
c) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
a) Once the mince has browned, lower the heat to medium. Add the onion and a drizzle of oil if needed.
b) Cook until softened, 3-4 mins, then add the garlic, harissa paste and chermoula (add less of both if you'd prefer things milder). Stir-fry for 30 secs.
c) Stir in the beef stock paste and water for the beef (see pantry for amount), bring to the boil, then lower the heat. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
a) Gently fold the cooked rice through the beef.
