Name: Cabbage Patch Supper—100 Percent of Your RDA of Vitamin C
Yield: serves 4
Ingredients: 1 pound round steak trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes; 1 medium yellow onion, chopped; 1 medium green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped; 1 teaspoon canola or olive oil; 2 chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in 1 cup boiling water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper; 4 cups coarsely shredded green cabbage

Cooks' Note

You’ll get 100 percent of your United States recommended daily allowance (U.S.RDA) for vitamin C with this meal—a cup of cooked cabbage provides 60 percent of the daily allowance, while 1⁄4 cup green bell pepper supplies another 37 percent. Since the onion will supply the rest, why spend your money on a vitamin C capsule? This is a lot more satisfying.
