- Meat

How to Make Aunt Dina S One Dish Meal
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef (or turkey) with 1 medium onion, chopped, over medium-high heat. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- While the meat is browning, peel and chop 2 lbs potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Finely chop 1 small head of green cabbage (about 2 cups chopped).
- Once the meat is browned, drain off any excess grease. Stir in 28 oz (1 large can) crushed tomatoes and 1 tbsp tomato paste. Bring to a boil.
- Gently layer the chopped potatoes evenly over the meat sauce. Top with the chopped cabbage.
- Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is wilted. Stir occasionally, especially once the cabbage starts to wilt to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
