Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet
I love cabbage rolls but they are time consuming to roll and create more dishes than I want to deal with. This is a faster weeknight version of cabbage rolls, loaded with vegetables and a perfect comfort food!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 28 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 small head cabbage roughly chopped
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When heated, add ground beef, red bell pepper, onions, salt and pepper. Break up the ground beef while it browns, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic, oregano, thyme, and paprika, and sauté 1 minute.
- Crush the whole peeled tomatoes with your hands in a medium bowl. Pour into the skillet.
- Add water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and rice. Stir until combined. Stir in cabbage.
- Cover the skillet with a lid, bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Notes
- Storage– Refrigerate after allowing leftovers to cool completely and placing in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to two months in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stove.
- Extra Veggies – Add a grated zucchini to the pan when adding the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute to get another vegetable into the meal!
- Hot Sauce – I will add hot sauce wherever it seems even slightly reasonable. I like a healthy splash of hot sauce to garnish my bowl.
