so this happens to be one of my favorite persian recipes. Essentially, it translates to "cabbage rice." I am aware that that doesn't sound incredibly appetizing but I'm telling you...it's so good! My husband hates cabbage and loves this rice!
1 head cabbage, chopped
1 pkg. veggie beef ( i prefer morningstar brand)
2 small cans tomato sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 tsp. saffron
1/2 c. sugar, (more or less depending on your taste but 1/2 c. is a good starting point)
1/2 c. lemon juice, again, to taste
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4-5 c. rice
Cook rice according to package directions until it is just 1-2 minutes shy of being done.
Meanwhile, chop and saute the cabbage in olive oil over med-high heat until it begins to soften. Add the beef and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add the other ingredients (except the rice) and bring to a boil. Let simmer on med-low for about 30 minutes.
Add mixture to your rice (your rice should be JUST shy of being done...it should still be a little bit wet) and mix well.
