I just love the colorful presentation of vegetables in this dish, I’ve made it twice so far. I would say this amount would serve four light eaters, but if you are hefty eaters, maybe only two.
I loved this dish with cayenne, I put in 1/4 teaspoon. If you don’t like “hot” don’t use the cayenne, and please test with a light sprinkle first if you do want to try it.
I thought this dish was similar to noodle casserole dishes I’ve made in years past. The wide cut cabbage reminded me of egg noodles. I know cabbage isn’t noodles, but I sometimes miss having the mouth feel of wide egg noodles, so this was a nice substitute.
It is quite delicious and I believe you’ll agree.
Red Pepper and Cabbage Stroganoff
1 pound of zucchini squash
2 T. butter, ghee or coconut oil [affiliate link]
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large red bell pepper, chopped into 1/2″ to 3/4″ pieces
1 pound of hamburger
4 cloves [affiliate link] of garlic, chopped or minced
1 pound of cabbage sliced into 1″ thick wedges
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional
Quarter the zucchini squash length-wise, then slice about 1/4″ thick. Place a steamer into a pan large enough to hold the squash. Put water in the bottom and put the zucchini into the steamer. Allow to steam until fork tender (mine took 20 minutes).
Melt the butter, ghee or coconut oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Saute until onion begins to turn transparent, about five minutes. Add the hamburger and cook until it is no longer pink. Add the garlic, and the pound of cabbage. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, cover and cook for twenty minutes.
When the vegetables are all transparent or fork tender, mix together in a bowl.

I loved this dish with cayenne, I put in ¼ teaspoon, but I think my cayenne is a little old because it doesn’t taste very hot lately. If you don’t like “hot” don’t use the cayenne, and please test with a light sprinkle first if you do want to try it.

so that the cauliflower is not resting in the water while it cooks. It takes 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is fork tender. Pour the cauliflower into a colander to drain any water.
