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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add the cabbage, cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Enjoy as-is or with warm pita, rice, and/or yogurt sauce.

Notes

Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, the ground beef and cabbage will keep for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in a skillet on low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
