Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce, meats, and pantry staples like vinegar and spices at local supermarkets or neighbourhood 'musika' markets. For the steak, any local butcher shop can provide a suitable cut for dicing. If you cannot find culinary sweetener, white sugar is a common substitute in local cooking.
Preparation method
- In a pan, fry the diced steak with the garlic, onion, and bacon until golden brown.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for another minute.
- Combine the cooked beans, chopped cabbage, enough water to lightly cover the ingredients, salt, black pepper, oregano, vinegar, and sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat until the cabbage becomes tender.
- While the salad is still at a simmer, crack the egg directly into the pot.
- Stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until the egg is cooked and the liquid thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot.
