Fake Roasted Cabbage "Rolls"

This recipe is simple and straight forward - and on top of this even delicious. My mom used to make cabbage roulades not just cooked (in water), but nicely fried on top of this to release the delicious sweet taste of the cabbage (I hope one day I put the original here). This makes it incredible good, but also needs to roast slowly since you don't want to burn it and you need to know exactly how much spices you'll need, because spicing after is almost impossible and you risk to get a bland food... So my mom came up with this "fake" solution: instead of making rolls you simply cut everything small and fry it together in the pan. If you think it's not spicy enough at, you can always add more.

For 4-6 portions separate 500g of minced meat and cut about 1kg of cabbage in 2x2cm large pieces. Heat up some vegetable oil in a big pan, add meat and cabbage and start roasting it slowly while stirring it often. When it softens start adding about 2tsp. salt, 2tsp. grounded pepper and 4tsp. grounded caraway. Try to add spices until you like it warm, but not more! Fry everything until the cabbage becomes a slight sweet taste and a brownish coloring. The spicing is tricky: since you serve it with cooked potatoes after (if you like), you need to spice it more to compensate the "dilution". On the other hand, if you eat it the next day the spices soak all the mix and it tastes more intense. Enjoy!
