Method

Meat Sauce

  1. Sauté diced onions until soft. Set aside.
  2. Take ground beef and place it in a hot pan and distribute meat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes or until all meat is nice and brown.
  3. Constantly stir to make sure the meat is fully cooked. Scrape the bottom to make sure none gets stuck. Continue to do this until you get crispy brown bits.
  4. Add your tomato paste and stir around to combine.
  5. Add your ground cloves, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and stir over medium heat.
  6. Add sautéed onions back to pan. 
  7. Deglaze with ½ to 1 cup of water. Scrape bottom after adding.
  8. Add pinches of salt and pepper to mix in then set aside.

Home Fries

  1. First, dice 3 peeled potatoes. Set in pot and cover with cold water and add white vinegar and 3 pinches of salt.
  2. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Spread on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to let cool.
  4. Place 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil into a cast iron skillet. Cook potatoes in batches to keep from undercooking.
  5. Add potatoes and let sit for 4 minutes or until potatoes have a golden crust on one side.
  6. Repeat until potatoes are a golden crispy brown all over.
  7. While warm, season potatoes with 2 pinches of kosher salt, paprika (if desired), and 2 pinches of freshly ground pepper.
  8. Toss potatoes to evenly season throughout.
