Instructions

Prep

1 Prep

  • Peel and finely slice the onion.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic.
  • Finely chop the coriander (stems included).
Fry almonds and garlic

2 Fry almonds and garlic

  • Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the almond slivers and dry toast until golden, set aside in a small bowl.
  • In the same pan heat a drizzle of olive oil and add the garlic.
  • Fry for 1-2 min until fragrant.
  • Add the coriander and fry until wilted, then add a splash of water to make a sauce.
  • Reserve the frying pan for the beef.
Fry beef

3 Fry beef

  • Return the reserved pan to a medium high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry half the onions (reserving the rest for the salad) for 3-5 min until softened.
  • Add the beef, and fry for 3-5 min until browned.
  • Add the Arabic masala, cumin coriander powder and a splash of water.
  • Lower the heat, cover and set aside to keep warm.
Tip! If cooking for kids, keep the spices to a minimum, or cook a small plain portion for them.
Boil pasta

4 Boil pasta

  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil with a good pinch of salt.
  • Boil the pasta for 10-12 min until tender.
  • Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • Reserve the pot for the sauce.
Make yogurt sauce

5 Make yogurt sauce

  • In a medium bowl, dissolve the 0.5 chicken stock cube with 4 Tbsp of hot water.
  • Whisk in the yogurt, milk, and corn starch until smooth and lump free.
  • Transfer the mixture to the pot, turn the heat to medium and cook the yogurt sauce for 3-4 min, stirring continuously until it starts to bubble and thicken.
  • Once thickened, stir in the pasta and most of the garlic coriander mixture.
  • Cook for 1 min longer until warmed through.
Tip! The purpose of the cornstarch is to thicken the sauce and prevent it from curdling.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Combine the tomatoes, onion, and sumac in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, and salt.
  • Serve the pasta with the spiced beef, remaining garlic coriander mixture, and almond slivers on top.
  • Serve with the salad alongside.
