Paprika Beef with Cabbage

Even though I joined the CSA (Whole Village Farms) they ARE located in ALTON (which is Caledon) and they drive the produce to Bolton, for the 8 families (I believe) that have signed up on Tuesdays 4:30 - 6:00 pm - which reduces our gas consumption and emissions, in essence reducing our carbon footprint.
Today the Bolton Farmer's Market is open from 3 - 7 pm, and I have been told that I have to get there early to get my hands on Bert's Lamb Spaducci at a buck each.... believe me - even if you don't like lamb... these will make you look at it again.

I will be heading up that way - and I have heard that a new farmer will be established selling organic produce!

Make it part of your habit to stop by and get SOMETHING each week. This market will grow and could become comparable to larger ones around - IF we support it and GO!

Having said that, I also shop at Zehrs  (Part of the Loblaws group of families for those of you who live in the GTA!) as there are the most amazing Presidents Choice items to enjoy.

I picked up a bottle of President's Choice Smoked Paprika Marinade.

I also found in my freezer - beef rib finger meat boneless...  Zehrs had them on sale a while back - and typical me - when there is a deal - I GRAB them!  YOU should use - Stewing Beef...

I have 2 cabbages and onions left....

Paprika Beef with Cabbage

PAPRIKA BEEF with CABBAGE

• 2 small cabbage heads- chopped or shredded
• 3 pounds stewing beef
• 2 onions diced
• 3/4 large tub of plain yogurt
• 1 bottle President's Choice Smoked Paprika Marinade

Cut up the beef into chunks - brown in a skillet to remove as much fat as possible. Chop the 2 onions and add them - cook over medium high heat - to cook off fat.  I then strained it into a pot to remove excess fat.  Put back into skillet and keep cooking with onion and add 1/3 bottle of the Smoked Paprika, about 10 minutes.

Chop up Cabbage into strips... place one cabbage in the bottom of your crock pot ( I have a large one) then place your beef from the skillet on top - and place the last cabbage chopped on top.  Add small amount of water and the rest of the marinade -  turn on crock pot - high for 4 hours.

Just before serving - pour in 1 cup of yogurt and blend.

( I had to use it as I made my husband go to the store yesterday for the Lamb and Spinach recipe... need to use the rest!  NO WASTE!)
