Anleitung

1. Start the ground round cooking in a heavy skillet over high heat; spread it out to cover the bottom of the pan so it cooks quicker.
2. While the ground beef is browning, chop the onion and crush the garlic.
3. Plunk them in the pan with the ground beef, and stir it up, using a spatula to turn it over and break it up so that it cooks evenly.
4. Cover the pan and let it continue cooking.
5. Meanwhile, chop the cabbage coarsely. Stir this into the beef mixture a bit at a time, it may come close to overwhelming your skillet. Take care to turn everything over to keep it cooking evenly. Re-cover the pan.
6. Continue to stir the meat mixture to keep it cooking evenly, covering in between stirrings.
7. When the cabbage is starting to wilt, stir in the tomato sauce, lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Re-cover, let the whole thing simmer for 5 minutes, then serve.
