This is a super simple recipe and comes together quick without sacrificing nutrition. Whenever we eat a meal with meat in our house, I like to load it around a ton of vegetables. It makes it stretch longer but even more importantly I meet my goal of loading every meal with as many nutrients at possible. I find my children don’t really care how many vegetables there are as long as it has a little meat and I hear no complaints on the veggies!

The flavor from the sumac, cumin, garlic, and onions is out of this world. Sumac is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory spices out there, it is also packed with vitamin-C and antioxidants. Cumin is also a nutrient dense spice and the flavor combination with the ground beef and purple cabbage is oh so delicious!

Can I freeze this recipe?

Yes! This recipe is great to freeze. Let thaw on the counter and reheat on the stovetop until warm.

Can I make this ahead?

This is a great make ahead meal to make over the weekend and then you can simply warm up over the stove for an easy weeknight meal! I actually find this is one of those meals that is better the next day. All the flavors jive together overnight and are oh so happy the next day.
