Mediterranean Ground Beef & Cabbage Stir Fry Stack

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground lamb for richer flavor)
• 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon tahini or Greek yogurt (optional drizzle)

Instructions:

1. Cook the beef:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red onion; sauté until fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Sprinkle in cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.

2. Add the veggies:

Add sliced cabbage and carrots to the pan. Sauté until the cabbage softens, about 5–7 minutes.

3. Finish with freshness:

Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir in chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

4. Stack and serve:

Spoon the stir-fry into bowls. Top with crumbled feta and a drizzle of tahini or Greek yogurt for creamy contrast.
