Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground pork, turkey, or a mix)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the meat: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage, and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Make the sauce: Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Season with smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
