I tried a new to me recipe. It's a Danish dish and I'm pretty sure my mum used to make it, but she never gave it a name. It can be called "ild i røret", which means fire in the pipe (tube). In this case the pipe/tube is your oesophagus or at least that is the best guess I have read for the name.
So, it's ground beef, but could be chicken or pork and it could be chunks. There is a whole lot of sliced onion. There's sliced carrots, and thinly sliced cabbage. The onions are sweated with a bunch of hot curry powder or paste. Then the meat is browned, the other veg is added and so is some short pasta, e.g., penne or fusilli or even elbow macaroni. Or, if you prefer it could be rice. Some crushed tomato or tomato sauce is added. Finally the cabbage is added and it is all cooked until the cabbage is tender and the pasta or rice is fully cooked. That's the basic recipe. Additions of garlic, cayenne, cumin, other veg (I used some celeriac), and Worcestershire are all optional.
That was really good, surprisingly so. I made what was supposed to be four servings. We ate a lot, but still had about six cups of leftovers. According to the comments of the various recipes I saw, the leftovers make excellent soup. It's not very pretty. But, here's a photo anyways.
