Ingredients
  

  • 1⅔ lbs green cabbage
  • 5⅓ oz. butter
  • 1⅓ lbs ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3 oz. leeks, thinly sliced
  • 8 tablespoons fresh basil
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or sour cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Shred the green cabbage finely with a cheese slicer, sharp knife or in a food processor.
  • Fry the cabbage in about half of the butter (or substitute olive oil) in a large frying pan or wok on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until just softened.
  • Add vinegar, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Stir and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until well incorporated. Reserve sautéed cabbage to a bowl.
  • Heat the rest of the butter or oil in the pan. Add the garlic and leeks, and sauté for a minute.
  • Add meat, and continue frying until cooked through. Sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add tomato paste and mix well. Lower the heat a little and add reserved cabbage and fresh basil. Stir until cooked through.
  • Adjust seasoning and serve with a dollop of sour cream or mayonnaise and perhaps even a green salad.
