Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
2 cups cabbage, shredded
1 cup uncooked white rice (or brown rice)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cups beef broth
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the Rice and Spices: Stir in the uncooked rice, paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast.
Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Combine with Beef: Once the rice and cabbage are fully cooked, stir the browned ground beef back into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs well with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
Helpful Tips:
Customize It: Add other veggies like carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor.
One-Pot Wonder: This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, all made in one skillet!
