Mediterranean Ground Beef Zucchini Skillet mixes Lebanese spiced ground beef with zucchini noodles, fresh diced tomatoes, feta cheese and fresh herbs
Method
-
1
Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium high heat. Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes.
-
2
Add the ground beef, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, paprika and clove and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain the fat from the ground beef and return to the pan.
-
3
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the zucchini noodles and toss for 2 to 3 minutes, just until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
-
4
Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top. If you want the feta slightly melted, place the skillet in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 3 minutes (use an oven-safe skillet).
-
5
Top with diced tomatoes, parsley and green onions and serve warm.
Notes
Make ahead: Cook the spiced beef up to 4 days ahead. Reheat, add the zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes and top just before serving. Zucchini prep: Spiralized zucchini keeps up to 5 days in the fridge in a container lined with a paper towel. No spiralizer: Thinly slice the zucchini into half moons or matchsticks. Leftovers: Store up to 3 days. The zucchini softens over time, so reheat gently in a skillet. Spice level: For a milder version, reduce or skip the cayenne.
