Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and add all spices. Before heating, stir into a paste.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for one hour or until liquid is reduced to your liking.
  • If you use very lean meat to avoid cholesterol, add a tablespoon or two vegetable oil (I don't suggest olive oil). It's the oil that brings the flavor to the tongue!
