Nutrition per serving
Step 1/4
- ½ head pointed cabbage
- 10 g parsley
- 125 g mushrooms
- ½ onion
- ½ clove garlic
- 400 g waxy potatoes
- salt
- oven
- large pot
- cutting board
- ladle
- knife
- peeler
Preheat the oven to 220°C/428°F. Fill a large pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cut out the core from pointed cabbage and blanch until the outer leaves are soft for approx. 10 min. so they are easier to remove. Take cabbage out of the water and after it cools, remove some leaves for the top layer of the dish. Cut remaining cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Chop parsley and quarter mushrooms. Peel and dice onion. Peel and finely chop garlic. Peel and cut potatoes into 2 cm./¾ inch pieces.
Step 2/4
- oil (for frying)
- 200 g mixed ground meat
- roasting pan (large)
- cast iron pan (optional)
- cooking spoon
Heat some oil in a roasting pan or a large, cast iron pan. Add the mushrooms and ground meat walnut-size chunks and sauté until golden brown on all sides, being careful not to break them apart. Add chopped cabbage, garlic, and onion. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for approx. 3–5 more min.
Step 3/4
- ½ tbsp tomato paste
- 50 ml red wine
- 100 ml vegetable broth
- 1½ tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tbsp mustard
- ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ sprig thyme
- ½ tbsp corn starch
- pepper
- bowl (small)
Add tomato paste and sauté briefly. Deglaze with red wine, let the alcohol cook off, and then add vegetable broth, soy sauce, mustard, cocoa powder, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Mix cornstarch with some water, then add to the pan while stirring constantly to thicken your sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil until the sauce thickens.
Step 4/4
- pastry brush
Add potato pieces to the pan and mix well. Place cabbage leaves over the mix in the pan. Lightly brush with some oil. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 30–35 min., until the cabbage on top has plenty of dark spots. Take out the oven and serve!
