Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 small head Cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 400 grams Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 4 cups Water or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Short-grain rice
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Thinly slice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Add them to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well to combine.
Pour in water or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then add it to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
