Ingredients meat with peas:

• 500g (1 lb) beef, lamb, or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Onion & Garlic:
   Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Brown the Meat:
   Add the meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
