Beef and pumpkin stew

Here is a quick beef and pumpkin stew recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Method

1. Brown the ground beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Set the cooked beef aside.
2. Cook the vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients: Add the carrots, pumpkin, diced tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, paprika, and thyme. Return the ground beef to the pot.
4. Simmer: Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin and carrots are tender.
5. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
