Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium (diced) white or yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Prepare the cabbage by removing the core, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Season the beef mixture with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine. Allow it to cook down for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir well, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Stir in the cooked rice and let it warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the cabbage roll skillet hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
