Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil

Add the chopped cabbage and sauté briefly. Stir in diced tomatoes, rice, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil.

Step 4: Cook and Serve

Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy hot!
