What is Pea stew with ground beef and potato?
Pea stew with ground beef and potato is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of peas, browned mince and chunks of potato simmered together, often with onion and tomato paste. Fresh peas are common when in season, while frozen peas make it easy to cook year-round. The result is tender and gently savoury, with a little sweetness from the peas and a soft, hearty texture from the potatoes.
Serve it warm with rice, bread or a spoonful of plain yoghurt; it also works well as a complete one-pot meal. Peas contribute fibre and the beef adds protein, with 6.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, use leaner mince and less oil, or serve a smaller portion alongside a crisp salad.
