Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Ground Lamb 1 lb $9.99 (sale, 1 lb)
  • Kroger® Brand Snow Peas (sub for green peas) 1 cup, thinly sliced on the bias $3.89
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onion 1 medium, finely chopped $2.19/lb
  • Organic Ginger Root 1 tbsp grated $5.99/lb
  • Organic Garlic 3 cloves, minced $6.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Roma Tomatoes 2 medium, finely chopped (or grated) $3.99
  • Organic Kale 1 small bunch (about 4 packed cups chopped) $2.99
  • Organic Yukon Gold Potatoes (optional, to stretch) 1 medium potato, 1/2-inch dice (optional) $4.99 (3 lb bag)

Instructions

  1. Stove: Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a deep skillet over medium. Add onion and cook until golden, 8–10 minutes.
  2. Stove: Add ginger and garlic; cook 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and 1/2–1 tsp chili powder (to taste). Cook 30 seconds (add a splash of water if sticking).
  3. Stove: Add tomatoes plus 1/2 tsp salt; cook until jammy and the oil begins to separate, 6–8 minutes.
  4. Stove: Add ground lamb; break up and brown, 6–8 minutes. If using potato, add it now with 1/2 cup water; cover and simmer until tender, 10–12 minutes.
  5. Stove: Stir in sliced snow peas (as a pea stand-in) and simmer 2–3 minutes. Adjust salt and add garam masala (1/2 tsp) if you have it.
  6. Stove (side): In a separate pan, sauté kale with a little oil, salt, and a squeeze of lemon (optional) until wilted, 3–5 minutes.
  7. Serve: Plate keema with sautéed kale. (Add rice/naan if you have—optional.)

Health notes: Protein-forward and hearty; use less oil and add extra kale for a lighter plate.

Drink pairing: Off-dry Riesling (Washington) or a crisp lager.
