Step 1

Rinse the rice in a colander and transfer to a small saucepan. Add 1 cup water and ⅛ tspsalt; bring to a boil.

Step 2

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, stir, and cover. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Trim off and discard the root end of the cabbage; halve the cabbage lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 2 ½-cm pieces and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 5

Peel and small dice the onion.

Step 6

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Peel and mince the garlic.

Step 8

Add the beef, onion, and garlic to the skillet; cook, breaking apart the meat into smaller pieces, until the beef is browned and the onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Add the diced tomatoes and cabbage and season with ½ tsp each salt and pepper. If the cabbage doesn't fit, cook it down and add the rest after. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook until the cabbage is softened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 10

Trim the stem ends and peel the carrot; discard the trimmings and coarsely grate the carrot.

Step 11

Once the cabbage is softened, add the grated carrots and rice to the skillet; stir to combine. Cook until the carrots are softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 12

Divide the lazy cabbage rolls between two plates (or one plate and one lunch container). Enjoy!
