Ground beef and chickpeas simmer together in a smoky paprika-spiced tomato sauce, finished with fresh parsley for brightness. The dish draws on Mediterranean and North African flavors, balancing richness from the beef with the earthy bite of chickpeas. It comes together in one skillet, making it suited for a quick weeknight dinner served over rice or with crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.

  4. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. Add the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, beef broth, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.

  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

  8. Remove from heat, stir in half the fresh parsley, and sprinkle the remainder over the top before serving with lemon wedges.
