Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel the onions and garlic; roughly chop the onions and press the garlic. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and cut into thumb-sized pieces. Wash the tomatoes, remove any watery insides (reserve the flesh), and also cut into thumb-sized pieces. Cut the meat into small pieces. Mix granulated stock with water. Sauté the onions, garlic, and tomato paste in oil. Briefly fry the tomatoes and bell pepper pieces. Add the rice, deglaze with the stock, add the tomato insides, and bring to a boil briefly. Add the meat… season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Let the whole thing simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. It tastes particularly good served with parsley, a spoonful of yogurt, grated Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice on top. Tip: For the meat, you can use almost anything you have in the fridge… leftovers from a barbecue, sausage ends from the fridge, etc., whatever you like and taste. For vegetable lovers, you can add finely chopped vegetables, such as zucchini, leeks, or fennel. It can also be enjoyed cold or as a small salad.
