Directions
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.

  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and sugar. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add chopped green cabbage to the pot. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  6. Once the cabbage is tender, add the pre-cooked white rice. Simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
