Ingredients


1 cup White rice, long-grain, dry (or basmati)
2 cup Green bell pepper (diced)
1 1/2 cup Carrots (peeled and diced)
1 cup Green lentils, canned
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, garlic-infused
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Oregano, dried
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
1 cup Vegetable stock/broth, gluten-free (low FODMAP chicken stock, Massel brand)
400 gm Diced tomatoes, low sodium, canned (plain, with juice)
2 tbsp Tomato paste, canned
1 dash Salt and pepper (to taste)
3/4 cup (shredded) Parmesan cheese, vegan
3 tbsp Green onion (green leaves only, finely chopped)

Instructions


  1. Cook rice according to package instructions. 
  2. Warm a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the garlic-infused oil and cook the ground beef until it’s just cooked through. 
  3. Add the remaining garlic-infused oil, green bell pepper, and carrot, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beef is golden and the carrots start to soften. 
  4. Stir in the paprika, oregano, cumin, and sugar and cook until fragrant - about 1 minute. 
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the bone broth (or stock), canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and a few grinds of salt and pepper (to taste). Stir well and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid has almost reduced.
  6. Once the rice has cooked, add to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Remove the pan from heat and top with grated cheese. Place the pan in the oven and grill/broil under high heat for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  8. Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of finely chopped green onion.

Notes:

Quick Tips:

  • Dairy-free option:omit the cheese, top with soy-based or coconut-based cheese, or swap out the cheese for sweet chili mayo (1.5 tbsp mayonnaise mixed with 1/2 tsp sweet chili sauce per serving).
    • Check that the vegan cheese does not include onion, garlic, inulin, or coconut flour in the ingredients.
