Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet I
It has been probably 5 years since I had cabbage rolls, and they were delicious! Here is a cheater recipe, no need to boil the cabbage leaves or roll anything, just make on the stove top in a large skillet. I have not tried this yet but it sounds really good and I will give my remarks after I make this. The recipe is normally made with beef but feel free to use pork or chicken. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped
- 1 head cabbage, small, chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes, 565 gram can, chopped, drain but retain juice
- 1 cup tomato sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/2 cup water, OR beef stock
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- salt, as needed
- olive oil, as needed
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring, until ground beef is no longer pink and onion is tender. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Drain off any fat.
- Add the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cabbage is tender, add reserved tomato juice as needed. Serve.
Notes
Ground beef can be 200 Baht/kilo. For this dish, that is your most expensive item, if using minced pork, you can almost cut the cost in half. For 6 servings this would be about 98 cents per serving.
Shortcut: Tomato Sauce.
