Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 head green cabbage
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• ½ cup white rice
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp dried dill (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Chop the cabbage into 1-inch pieces, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, paprika, and dried dill (if using), cooking for 1 minute more until fragrant.
4. Stir in the chopped cabbage, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, uncooked rice, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the rice is cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
