Instructions

Mash

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil.

  3. Drain well and add the extra virgin olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and non-dairy milk.

     

  4. With a hand blender or potato masher, blend until they reach a creamy consistency. Set aside.

     

Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

     

  2. Brown the ground meat in a large skillet over medium high heat (skip to step 3 for vegan version).

     

  3. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.

     

  4. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the pan along with the onions, garlic, ginger, sea salt, and spices and cook for 8-10 minutes until the onions are softened.

     

  5. Return the meat to the pan (if using) along with the honey (if using), plum tomatoes, and stock.

     

  6. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes more.

     

  7. Add chickpeas (1 can for meat version, 2 cans for vegan version, skip for paleo version), currants or raisins, and chopped cilantro. Stir and remove from heat.

     

  8. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
