Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 small yellow onion

3 cloves garlic

1 1/4 lbs lean ground beef

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 can diced tomatoes

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp marjarom

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

1/2 medium head cabbage

2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

1 1/4 cups brown rice or white rice,*

Directions

Heat olive oil in a deep 12-inch non-stick skillet or a pot over medium-high heat. Add in onion and saute 2 minutes, add garlic and saute 10 seconds longer. Push to one far side of the pan. Add beef in large crumbles, season with salt and pepper. Let beef brown on bottom about 3 minutes then continue to cook and break up beef, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes longer. Drain excess fat. Return to heat add in tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, paprika, thyme, marjarom, brown sugar and vinegar. Bring to a simmer. Toss in cabbage, season with salt and pepper to taste, reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer, tossing occasionally, until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Serve warm over rice garnished with parsley . *To keep this a quick meal I like to use leftover rice or go for the minute rice - especially if using brown.
