Description
A hearty one pot meal featuring ground beef, rice, and shredded cabbage, flavored with garlic and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 6 cups shredded green cabbage
- ½ fresh lemon, squeezed
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or saute pan on medium heat. Add olive oil until hot. Add onion and saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds and then add the ground beef and seasonings. Break apart the beef with a wooden spoon or masher. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and almost cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Then stir in the tomato paste.
- Add the crushed tomatoes (no need to drain), uncooked rice, cabbage, and beef broth. Give it a stir to make sure everything is well combined. Bring everything to a boil. Reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the heat, give it a stir, and add extra broth if needed. Add the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Give it a taste and add salt to taste.
- Hint: If you want to use minute rice instead, you only need to let the cabbage and tomato mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes and add the minute rice in the last 1-2 minutes. If using brown rice, cook the rice separately and add it to the mixture in the same way as minute rice.
Notes
- If you prefer ground turkey, it can be substituted for ground beef.
- Rice types like jasmine or basmati can enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the amount of salt based on dietary preferences.
