Kapusksa—Turkish cabbage stew

From Sweet and Savory Meals – submitted by Lori, Yorkville CSA
This hearty stew is popular in Eastern Europe and the Near East. This version includes meat, but it can easily be turned into a vegetarian dish by substituting chopped mushrooms and/or grains. What is common in all versions is lots of cabbage, braised slowly with some form of tomatoes, and a fragrant mix of spices. A bonus: It freezes beautifully, so double or triple the recipe and keep some on hand for a quick dinner.
