Instructions
1
Prep
Finely grate garlic into yogurt in a small bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and stir to combine; set aside at room temperature.
2
Saute
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef 4–5 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains and it colours lightly.
3
Bloom
Stir tomato paste, paprika, and cumin into the beef; cook over medium heat 1 minute until the raw tomato smell fades and paste darkens.
4
Simmer
Pour in beef stock, season with salt and pepper, and simmer uncovered over medium-low heat 6–8 minutes until liquid reduces to a thick, glossy coating.
5
Build
Spoon warm rice into a bowl and fold through half the garlic yogurt so the grains turn pale and creamy.
6
Melt
In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat 1–2 minutes, swirling, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
7
Plate
Top the yogurt rice with spiced beef, drizzle over browned butter, dot with remaining garlic yogurt, and scatter with dried mint and parsley.
