Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over high.
- While pan heats, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then thinly slice onion.
- When hot, add beef, peppers, onions, Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the dry pan. Cook for 5-8 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- While beef and veggies cook, tear or cut olives in half, reserving liquid.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- To beef, add stock powder, tomato sauce base, olives, olive liquid and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in spinach.
- Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in half the cilantro.
- Divide couscous between plates.
- Top with beef mixture.
- Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
