- 1 cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano

- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, uncooked rice, broth, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the cabbage is fully cooked.
- Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
