Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 lb Halal certified ground beef or chicke
1 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 (15 oz) can Diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 oz) can Tomato sauce
1 cup Halal beef or chicken broth
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Dried basil
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper To taste
0.5 cup Crème fraîche or plain yogurt
0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the halal certified ground beef or chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat
  2. Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and halal beef or chicken broth. Add the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season generously with salt and black pepper
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the crème fraîche or plain yogurt until thoroughly combined and creamy
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving

Notes

Don’t rush browning the meat; a good sear locks in the flavor.

Always use fresh garlic and onion for the best taste.

Taste and adjust seasonings often – a little extra salt or pepper can make a big difference.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more halal broth to reach your desired consistency.

Prepare your ingredients (chopping onions, mincing garlic) beforehand (mise en place) to significantly speed up the cooking process.

Allow any leftovers to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, gently warm in a saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave individual servings, adding a splash of halal broth if needed.
