This is a quick and easy main dish. My kids don't even like cabbage, but they love this. I usually try to serve it with green beans, new potatoes, corn, and a pan of corn bread. They eat over half the pan every time. Also, the longer it stands the better it tastes.

Categories     dinner     Main Course     one pan

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional. You can saute your onions and garlic in water before adding meat.)
1/2 large onion (chopped)
1/2 large any color bell pepper (chopped)
1 hot chile pepper (diced, optional)
3 cloves garlic (sliced)
1 pound ground beef (or turkey - 454 grams)
1 tablespoon Anyday Spice Blend (see Notes)
1/2 head green cabbage (about 4-5 cups, sliced thin or chopped - I used half green and half purple cabbage)
1 14-ounce can tomatoes (diced - you may choose to add more. 2 cans would not be bad!)
2 cups vegetable broth or water (I used 1 cube of my homemade Vegetable Bouillon with water to make broth - see Notes)
1/4 cup fresh herbs
3 cups cooked brown rice (or whatever color rice you like. See notes on cooking rice in the pot.)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped - optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet or pot or Dutch oven over medium low heat and add oil, if using. Then add onions and saute a few minutes until translucent. Add garlic and bell pepper and optional chile pepper and saute a minute or two more.
  • Add ground meat and break up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. I actually didn't thaw my meat ahead and just added it frozen and broke it up as it thawed and cooked. Add your spices and continue to cook until most of the pink is gone.
  • Add cabbage, tomatoes and broth or water and stir well. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Stir in the fresh herbs and simmer one more minute. Serve over hot cooked rice. If you are cooking your rice in the one pot, add it (1 cup dry rice) along with the cabbage and tomatoes and 1 cup of extra water. Stir all together and cook for 20-30 minutes - depending on type of rice - until rice is cooked.
  • Serve in bowls with fresh parsley on top, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages with loose or wilted leaves, as they will not hold up well during cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your unstuffed cabbage, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or zucchini. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage can become tough and chewy if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your unstuffed cabbage with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the dish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Unstuffed cabbage can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. It can also be served with a side salad or a dollop of sour cream.
