This dinner serves 6, and is great served with fresh vegetables.
1 1/2 pounds of extra lean ground beef (or turkey)
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 tablespoons coconut milk (optional)

Myth
Coconut milk is the liquid found in the middle of the coconut

Wrong!
In fact coconut milk is made when the sweet white meat of the coconut is grated then squeezed, and the milk is collected. This creates thick milk that is used for desserts and sauces. Then the coconut meat is soaked in warm water and squeezed a few more times. This results in a thin coconut milk often used in soups.
