Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for cabbage with rice—a comforting, one-pot dish that’s easy to make:
Cabbage with Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup rice (white or brown)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth (or water)
- 1 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1 tsp paprika, 1 carrot (grated), 1 bell pepper (chopped)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
- Add cabbage: Stir in shredded cabbage (and optional carrots or bell peppers) and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add rice: Mix the rice into the cabbage and stir well so it’s coated with oil and flavors.
- Pour in broth: Add the 2 cups of broth (or water), salt, pepper, and optional paprika. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes (or according to rice type) until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff and serve: Use a fork to fluff the rice, mix gently, and serve hot.
💡 Tips:
- Add cooked sausage, bacon, or chicken for extra protein.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra freshness.
- For a tangy twist, add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice at the end.
