Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. lean ground beef 80/20
1 small sweet onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
¾ tsp coarse salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp paprika
½ cup uncooked white rice
¼ cup golden raisins
15 oz. can tomato sauce
1½ cups low-sodium beef broth chicken or vegetable also work
1 small head cabbage core removed, chopped (about 6 cups)
sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving, optional but recommended

Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion; sauté, breaking the beef up into small crumbles and cook until no pink remains and onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Drain off the grease.
Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Stir in the salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add uncooked rice, raisins, tomato sauce, broth, and cabbage to the skillet; mix to combine. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 22 to 25 minutes, lifting the lid to stir a couple times, until cabbage and rice are tender.
Serve in bowls with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
