A hearty and flavorful cabbage stew with tender meatballs, perfect for a comforting meal.
Chop the onion and cabbage into small pieces.
Cut the cabbage into uniform pieces for even cooking.
In a large pot, combine the onion, cabbage, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, honey, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, white rice, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into small meatballs.
Keep your hands slightly wet to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Add the meatballs to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours.
Ensure the meatballs are fully submerged for even cooking.
If desired, add raisins and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
The raisins add a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
