Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Spitzkohl (pointed cabbage), sliced into fine strips
  • 500g minced beef (lean to medium-fat)
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (rapeseed or sunflower oil)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon crème fraîche, sour cream, or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash the Spitzkohl, remove tough outer leaves, cut in half lengthwise, remove the core, and slice into fine strips. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Have the beef broth, tomato paste, and spices measured out and ready.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with cooking oil. Add the minced beef, break it up, and cook until browned all over. Drain excess fat if necessary, then push the beef to one side of the pan.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Toast Spices: Add a splash more oil if needed, then add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for another minute, then stir in paprika and caraway seeds, cooking for 30 seconds more.
  4. Combine and Add Cabbage: Mix the browned beef with the sautéed onions, garlic, and spices. Add the sliced Spitzkohl and stir well, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage wilts down.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Pour in the broth, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until the Spitzkohl is tender but still has a slight bite.
  6. Season and Finish: Remove the lid, stir, and taste. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If using, stir in crème fraîche or sour cream until just combined.
  7. Serve Hot: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives and enjoy your dish!

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure not to crowd the pan while browning the beef for optimal flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning throughout the cooking process, and consider adding a splash of acidity like apple cider vinegar for brightness.
