Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 small head Cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 400 grams Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cups Water or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Short-grain rice
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 4 Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Thinly slice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Add them to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in water or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then add it to the pot.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
