Cabbage, one of the oldest vegetables, continues to be a dietary staple and an inexpensive food. It is easy to grow, tolerates the cold, and keeps well. Cabbage is an excellent source of Vitamin C.
Recipe Ingredients
1 pound extra lean ground beef (or mixture of beef and turkey)
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 head cabbage (about 3 cups coarsely shredded)
2 tablespoons carrots, shredded (optional)
1 bouillon cube
1/2 cup water
Chopped fresh garlic to taste
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Onion powder to taste
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
Shredded Parmesan and/or romano cheese
Recipe Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine ground meat, onion and garlic powder in a 2-quart covered oven casserole/pan with oil. Saute uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up meat mixture. Drain off any fat. (Optionally, this can be done in a skillet and then moved to a covered casserole at this point.)
Add cabbage and all but last two ingredients and toss well. Cover casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove cover during last 15 minutes, top with sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese and return to oven for balance of baking time.
Comments: You can use 1/2 cup canned chicken broth here in place of bouillon and water if you prefer.
