Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 pound 85-90% lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Method

  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the red onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
  2. Add the ground beef with the cumin, paprika, black pepper, ginger, oregano, salt and cayenne, mashing with a spatula to break the meat up finely as it cooks.
  3. When the beef is nearly cooked through, stir in the tomato sauce and cilantro and simmer on the lowest heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Raise the heat to medium, cut five wells into the beef and crack an egg into each one.
  5. Cook 8 to 9 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny but held.
  6. Scatter fresh cilantro over the pan and serve the keema with bread, cheese and potatoes.
