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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
