How to Make Almost Cabbage Rolls

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 pound ground beef (or turkey) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir in 1/2 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
