Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 large, peeled and diced russet potatoes
• 12 ounces plant-based ground beef
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and add the plant-based ground beef to the empty spot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until browned.

Step 6

Sprinkle smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the entire skillet. Stir everything together to coat the veggies and beef crumbles evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping any stuck bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the lid, stir in the frozen peas, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 10

Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
