Preparation

  • In a large pot over medium-low heat, cook the bacon for 8 to 10 minutes, until it is crisp at the edges but still soft in the middle.
  • Raise the heat to medium and add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots. Drizzle with a thin stream of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the cabbage and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until it starts to soften but still has some bite.
  • Add the ground beef and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, breaking the meat into small pieces, until it is browned through.
  • Stir in the spices, the white wine and the chicken broth. Keep cooking 2 to 3 minutes, until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Let it sit a few minutes before serving, then top with fresh parsley. Eat it straight from a bowl, or spoon it into tortillas.
