Instant Pot Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
Description
This recipe takes the concept of cabbage rolls and simplifies it by cooking all components together in an Instant Pot. Ground beef is sautéed with onions, garlic, and herbs such as thyme, oregano, rosemary, and smoked paprika, building a flavorful base. Shredded cabbage is stirred in followed by chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes creating a rich cooking liquid.
White or brown rice is added on top without stirring and lightly pressed to submerge before pressure cooking. The high-pressure cook tenderizes the cabbage while simultaneously cooking the rice and infusing it with the robust flavors of meat and tomato.
Served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and chopped fresh dill stirred in at the end, the dish delivers a comforting balance of tender vegetables, tangy tomato, and savory meat. It’s a convenient one-pot meal that captures the taste of classic stuffed cabbage in a streamlined way.
