Mallorcan Beef Sofrito Skillet with Pumpkin Seeds, Tomato and Wilted Spinach

Instructions

1. 01

   Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until they puff and pop. Tip them out onto a plate.

2. 02

   Return the skillet to medium heat with the olive oil. Add the diced onion and a small pinch of salt; cook 2 minutes until softening.

3. 03

   Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook 4 minutes, stirring, until browned through.

4. 04

   Stir in the garlic and paprika; cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced tomato, the rest of the salt, and the pepper. Simmer 4 minutes until the tomato breaks down into a loose sofrito.

5. 05

   Add the spinach in two handfuls, stirring each batch until just wilted (about 60 seconds total).

6. 06

   Spoon into a shallow bowl. Top with the toasted pumpkin seeds and chopped parsley.
