Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing and chopping one onion, two zucchinis, and two bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Mince two cloves of garlic and chop a handful of fresh parsley. Gather your ingredients on a cutting board for smooth cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add in one pound of ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of cumin. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- With the ground beef pushed to one side, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir into the heat for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in zucchini and bell peppers, combining well. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of dried oregano and an extra pinch of cumin. Cook for 7–8 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Once cooked, thoroughly mix all ingredients in the skillet. Remove from heat, fold in chopped parsley and lemon juice if desired. Adjust seasoning before serving.
- Serve hot, either on its own or over a bed of couscous, rice, or in pita wraps.
