Hunters Cabbage is a beef and vegetable stew with cabbage and mince as the main ingredient. It can be made for a vegetarian with some substitutes which i explain as i go.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 1 cup uncooked bacon, diced
- 1 teaspoon of garlic (optional)
- chilli to taste (optional)
- 1 cup ground beef
- 1 cup ground pork
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 3 cups of potatoes, quartered and sliced
- 1 cup beef stock
- The beef & pork combination can be adjust to just one of the other. I personally only ever use beef out of laziness for the most part. It can also be replaced with a meat substitute like Quorn mince (which can be found in Coles).
- Aside from the cabbage you can add/remove vegetables as you want. I personally usually add in carrot, mushrooms, sweet potato... I usually just put in whatever i have on hand really! It's a great way to use up excess stew friendly vegetables. With the potatoes i use white washed potato and leave the skin on.
- If going vegetarian obviously you can leave out the bacon and substitute the beef stock for vegetable stock.
- The options: garlic and chilli. These are something i started adding after having made it a complete of times just for some added flavour and kick.
On with the cooking!
- Wash cabbage and shred it. (No need to be careful and even - it gives the stew texture!)
- In a large pan fry bacon slightly.
- Add the onion to the bacon and cook until slightly translucent.
- Add beef, pork, salt and pepper and continue to cook until meat is brown. You don't need to cook the meat through - it is going in the slowcooker remember.
- Transfer to slow cooker; add cabbage, potatoes (and/or other vegetables) and stock.
- Cover, cook on low 6-8hrs or until your vegetables are cooked through.
It's that simple!! This freezes really well too and doesn't end up really dry when it is reheated.
