What is Cabbage Stew with Ground Beef?
Cabbage Stew with Ground Beef is a Turkish home-style dish of cabbage simmered with minced beef, onion and tomato or pepper paste. Recipes vary from household to household: some are thick and richly sauced, while others have more broth.
The cabbage turns tender and absorbs the savoury tomato-based juices, making the stew hearty without feeling as rich as a meat-only dish. In Turkey it is often served as a main course with bread or rice, especially in colder weather; elsewhere, it works well with crusty bread or a simple grain. It provides protein alongside vegetables, with 5.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, brown lean beef with little oil and serve with a spoonful of yogurt.
