Ingredients

• 400 grams Erishte (hand-cut noodles)
• 250 grams Ground lamb
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 400 grams Diced tomatoes (canned)
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Allspice
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 3 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the erishte noodles. Cook them according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat slightly and add the ground lamb and beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to coat the meat and deepen in flavor.

Step 7

Add the diced tomatoes, red chili flakes, cumin, paprika, allspice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Pour in the water and lower the heat to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the flavors meld.

Step 9

Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked erishte noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
