Garbage Stir-Fry with Curried Cabbage
Beef, Pork, Poultry
Ingredients
1 tablespoon ghee or cooking fat of choice
1 small onion, diced
kosher salt
1 pound ground beef, pork, lamb, bison, or turkey
1 tablespoon salt-free Indian curry powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound green cabbage, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup minced cilantro
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the ghee when the pan is hot.
Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook the onions, stirring frequently until they’re soft and translucent.
Plop in the ground meat and break it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Cook the ground meat, stirring frequently, until it is no longer pink.
Sprinkle the curry powder on the protein and onions, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
Toss in the cabbage, then cover and cook for 2 to 5 minutes, or until the cabbage softens to your desired consistency.
Add a spritz of lime juice, and taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Top with the minced cilantro and scallions.
Notes
Remember: this is just one example of how you can throw together a Garbage Stir-Fry. You could easily substitute your favorite seasoning blend for the curry, or a couple of cups of fresh or frozen vegetables for the cabbage. Don’t be afraid to improvise. Just sample the food as you cook, and stop seasoning when it tastes right.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to four days or up to four months in the freezer!
