Ground Beef and Cabbage

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon 7 Spice
• 1 teaspoon sumac
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ head green cabbage (chopped (about 4 cups))
• 1 lemon (juiced)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Rice (for serving, optional)
• Whole milk yogurt (for serving, optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the cumin, 7 Spice, sumac, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the cabbage, cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

4. 4

   Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Enjoy as-is or with warm pita, rice, and/or yogurt sauce.
