Ingredients (raw weights)
- 188 g onion, raw
- 150 g bell pepper, raw
- 30 g jalapeño, raw
- 560 g cabbage, raw
- 14 g olive oil, as sold
- 10 g garlic, raw
- 0.8 g salt, dry
- 0.8 g black pepper, dry
- 907 g ground beef 93/7, raw
- 30 g taco seasoning, dry
- 6.8 g paprika, dry
- 0.7 g chili powder, dry
- 124 g chicken broth/stock, as sold
Steps
- Start by finely dicing 1 large yellow onion, 1 red bell pepper, and 2 jalapeño peppers (deseed to make less spicy). Set them aside, separately
- Next, grab 1 small head of green cabbage, core it, then roughly chop it into bite-size pieces. You want pieces that soften over time but have some body, thats important here! Set it aside.
- Bring a pan to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add your onions, 2-3 finely minced garlic cloves, a couple pinches of salt and pepper, then sauté until translucent.
- Add 2 lbs ground beef (I used 85/15), 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Then using a spatula break it down so it’s finely minced.
- When it’s browned up, add your finely diced bell pepper and jalapeño, pour in 1/2 cup of bone broth, then toss in your cabbage, add a couple pinches of salt, and cover the lid on medium heat.
- Let everything steam, covered, for 10-15 minutes until the cabbage has cooked down and softened. Remove the lid, give everything a really good mix so the cabbage gets coated in all those juices and seasonings, then cook uncovered for another 3-4 minutes until most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Serve it up as is, or top with whatever you like (sour cream or finely chopped cilantro would be great, with a squeeze of fresh lime!)
