Ingredients

Hamburger patties

• 1½ lbs ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 3 oz. (9 tbsp) crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 oz. (3½ cups) fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil, for frying or butter

Gravy

• ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
• 2 tbsp tomato paste or ajvar relish
• salt and pepper

Fried green cabbage

• 1¼ lbs shredded green cabbage
• 2 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Hamburger patties and gravy

1. Combine all the ingredients for the hamburgers in a large bowl using a wooden spoon or clean hands. Don’t over-mix since that can make the patties tough. Use wet hands to form oblong patties.
2. Add olive oil or butter to a large frying pan. Fry over medium-high heat for at least 10 minutes or until the patties have browned. Flip them a few times for even cooking.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste and cream. Add this mixture to the pan when the patties are almost done. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Butter-fried green cabbage

1. Shred the cabbage finely using a food processor or sharp knife.
2. Add butter to a large frying pan.
3. Place the pan over medium-high heat and sauté the shredded cabbage for at least 15 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted and golden brown around the edges.
4. Stir regularly and lower the heat a little towards the end. Add salt and pepper to taste.
