Cabbage stew with ground beef, carrot and olive oil is a home-style Turkish kapuska: chopped cabbage simmered with minced beef, carrot and olive oil until tender. Kapuska is a familiar name for cabbage stews in Turkey, with recipes varying from one household to another.
The cabbage softens into the cooking juices, the carrot lends a gentle sweetness, and the beef makes the dish hearty. It is usually served hot as a main meal, often with rice and yoghurt; leftovers are welcome the next day, when the flavours have had time to meld. Cabbage and carrot contribute fibre, while the beef provides protein and olive oil adds mostly monounsaturated fat. For a lighter meal, keep the oil modest and serve with yoghurt rather than a large portion of rice.
