Equipment: Large frying pan or wide pan with a lid

Ingredients

  • 500 g beef mince (ground beef)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 white cabbage, shredded
  • 1 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Brown the mince in a large pan over a high heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and paprika for 1 minute, then add the cabbage and tomatoes.
  3. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring now and then, until the cabbage is tender. Season and serve.

Swaps and tips

Brown the mince well before adding anything else; the browned bits are where the flavour comes from. Leftovers reheat well for lunch.

Easy variations

  • Use pork or turkey mince
  • Add a drained tin of lentils to stretch it to 4 servings
  • Top with grated cheddar and grill for 2 minutes
  • Swap the paprika for dried oregano or mixed herbs
