Cabbage Roll Stir Fry

This recipe is just as comforting and delicious as regular cabbage rolls, but takes much less time to prepare!

Ingredients:
1 large onion
1lb ground pork or beef
796 ml can plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
213 ml can tomato sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp. each dried oregano and thyme leaves
Salt and pepper
1 green pepper
454-g package coleslaw mix or ½ a cabbage

Cooking Instructions:
• Lightly coat a large saucepan with oil and place over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and crumble in pork or beef. Stir frequently to keep meat crumbly until it's almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and seasonings. Stir often until flavour develops, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice green pepper into thin strips. If using cabbage, thinly slice. Add pepper, cabbage or coleslaw mix to pan and stir often, uncovered until cabbage is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.

Makes 4 servings; count each serving as 3 servings of protein and 1 restricted vegetable.
