I made this recipe for dinner last night and we thought it was very good. I love cabbage rolls but haven't made them for years, too much work, saw this recipe in the paper last week. It is super easy to make, which is great because I know we are all too busy to spend a lot of time in the kitchen these days.
Cabbage Roll Rice
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 medium diced onion
2 cups chopped cabbage (I used more)
1 can 28 oz chopped tomatoes
3/4 long grain rice
1 cup of sodium reduced vegetable or beef broth ( I didn't add this as I had some leftover mostly tomato juice in the fridge)
1/4 tsp of dried sage (more or less to taste)
1/4 tsp dried thyme (more or less to taste)
1/8 tsp powdered bayleaf (more or less to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
(I added a good sprinkle of cayenne pepper and about a 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes)
Use a large pan with a lid, season and brown meat breaking it up, add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, add spices and rest of ingredients, stir well and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cook 30-40 minutes, or until rice is tender.
