450g (1 pound) white cabbage, ( a medium head) roughly chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1cup hot water
Parsley for garnish, chopped
Instructions
Heat oil in a pan and cook the onions until translucent.
Add in the ground beef and cook it, breaking down the blocks with a spoon. Let it first release its juice and then absorb it.
Add in tomato paste, garlic and ¼ cup water. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika and red pepper flakes.
Add in roughly chopped cabbage and lemon juice. Cook covered for 5 minutes, stirring a few times.
Add in hot water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for 20 minutes. It will be like a thick soup. You can add extra water if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
It is up to you to use the hard parts of the cabbage or not. We do like them, but some people don’t want to have them in their dish.
Use any cabbage you can find.
You can make it vegetarian. Just leave the ground beef out.
Check the amount of the liquid when it is simmering. If you think it gets too thick, add in a little more water.
If you love hot and spicy dishes, you can sprinkle extra red pepper flakes on it when serving.
If you have leftover cabbage, use them to make coleslaw or pickles.
