Directions
- Heat the de Buyer Country Fry Pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and brown well, breaking it into bite-size pieces. Remove excess fat if necessary. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until they begin to soften and brown. Add zucchini and yellow squash and cook until browned but still holding some texture. Add garlic and cook briefly, then add cherry tomatoes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly and continue cooking until the beef reaches 160°F and the tomatoes begin to blister. Finish with fresh lemon and parsley and add feta if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
