Cooking Steps
- Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice and garlic puree then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over high. When the pan is hot, add beef, mirepoix and Indian Spice Mix to the dry pan. Cook for 2-4 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add curry paste and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove the pan from heat.
- Add spinach. Stir for 1 min, until wilted.
- Meanwhile, to a small microwavable bowl, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend. Microwave in 30-sec increments until butter is melted. Stir to combine.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then pour melted butter mixture over top. Stir to combine.
- Divide rice between plates.
- Top with beef mixture.
- Tear cilantro.
- Sprinkle crispy shallots and cilantro over top.
