Paleo style cooking can be easy and economical. I have been cooking this dish for years using cabbage, mince and curry powder, even before Paleo became a dietary phenomena promoting a healthy lifestyle and weight loss. It is a family favourite and very easy and nutritious to make
After a successful shopping expedition to Rusty's markets in Cairns, and loaded with fresh produce, I decided that for a change, chopped kale would be a nice addition replacing cabbage, and bringing added colour, texture and nutrition to the dish.
Cabbage is more economical to buy than kale so it might be your preferred choice, and also cabbage brings a certain sweetness to the dish which contrasts nicely with the curry powder. It is a matter of choice depending on what you have on hand and prefer.
In winter, this is an especially comforting meal with that hint of spice and heat the curry powder brings. It also works very well in summer with cooling condiments on the side such as extra mango chutney.
This meal makes five individual serves which are now in the freezer for an easy midweek meal.
For travelling retirees, this is also a meal that is easily cooked with what you have on hand, in a pan on the BBQ.
Ingredients:
500g Lean Minced Beef
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 brown onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 bunch of young kale, chopped, with stalks removed (chop the stalks and microwave them to partly cook) (or subsitute 1/4 cabbage if you wish)
1 cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon Curry Powder
Optional: 1 tablespoon mango chutney
Optional: 1 broccoli stalk or cauliflower florets
The more veges the better.
Let's cook:
Heat the oil in a pan and lightly brown the onion and the Minced Beef until cooked.
Add the Curry Powder to the mince, and stir through, and then add the Chicken Stock. Bring to the boil. Add water as necessary if it is drying out.
Add the vegetables and reduce the dish to a simmer. Stir through mango chutney for extra flavour if desired.
When the vegetables are cooked to the required crisp softness, but not too soft, it is ready to eat.
Enjoy!
