Ingredients
Method
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and finely chop or crush the garlic. Wash the bell pepper and dice it (remove inedible parts). In a deep skillet, heat the butter. After a moment, add the onion and garlic. Fry for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the meat. Continue stirring and breaking the meat apart with a wooden spatula.
- Once the meat loses its raw color, season with pepper, hot paprika, sweet paprika, and curry. Mix well.
- Add the canned tomatoes (with the juice). Pour in a bit of water, stir, and bring to a boil. After boiling, reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, add a bit of water, but it should not be too much. In the meantime, cook the rice (check the recipe).
- After the indicated time, add the chopped bell pepper to the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes. If there is too much water at the end of simmering, increase the heat and evaporate the excess (cook uncovered and keep stirring).
- At the end, add the drained corn and beans and season with salt to taste. Mix well.
- Then add the rice and mix again.
- Transfer to a plate.
