Instructions
Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice, 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the beef mince and pepper slices, fry until browned, 5-6 mins.
Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the garlic, za'atar and chermoula spice mix to the beef. Stir-fry for 1 min.
Pour in the passata, chicken stock paste and the sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally.
While everything cooks, crumble the Greek style cheese into small pieces and roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).
Once the mince is cooked and the sauce has thickened, season with salt and pepper then stir through half the chives.
Share the rice out between your bowls and spoon the stew on top.
Scatter over the cheese and finish by sprinkling over the remaning chives.
Enjoy!
