Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef or pork (or a mix)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart.
  2. Stir in diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Add chopped cabbage, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Stir in cooked rice and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Make it ahead and refrigerate — the flavors deepen overnight.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
