Servings: 4

Ingredients 

• ▢ 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

• ▢ 1 Pound ground beef, lean

• ▢ ½ Teaspoon salt

• ▢ ¼ Teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

• ▢ 1 yellow onion, chopped

• ▢ 3 Cloves garlic, minced

• ▢ 1 Tablespoon paprika, sweet or smoked

• ▢ 15 Ounces crushed tomatoes, canned

• ▢ 8 Ounces tomato sauce

• ▢ 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• ▢ 4 to 5 Cups green cabbage, chopped, about ½ a small head

Instructions 

• In a large skillet with a well-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over a medium heat until it shimmers. Add the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the ground beef into smaller pieces, until no pink color remains, 5 to 7 minutes.

• Stir the onions into the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.

• Stir in the garlic, paprika, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vinegar. Once the sauce is bubbling, add the cabbage and stir well. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.

• Stir in the rice and heat thoroughly. Serve garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
