Saute the onion and ground beef in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, chopped cabbage, rice, hot water, and salt.
Cook over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
Check that the liquid in the pot stays level with the ingredients.
Let the kapuska rest for 5 minutes, so the heat spreads evenly through the ingredients.
💡 Tip: Close the pot after adding the cabbage, its volume drops quickly under steam.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with yogurt and red pepper flakes.
