How to Prepare Greek Cabbage and Rice:

Pour the olive oil into a large pot and heat over medium. Add the onions and garlic and saute until translucent, about five minutes. Add the cabbage and saute until the cabbage is cooked down and soft. Stir in the dill, thyme, salt, and pepper and then add the vegetable broth, tomato paste, and rice and stir with a wooden spoon.
