Ingredients

1 lb. ground round
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped garlic (4 garlic cloves)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 3/4 cups beef consommé (from 3 [10 1/2-oz. each] cans)
3 1/2 cups tomato sauce (from 2 [15-oz. each] cans)
6 cups chopped green cabbage (from 1 small head)
2 medium (6 oz. total) carrots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 dried bay leaf
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), plus lemon wedges for serving
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill, plus dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Cook meat:

Cook ground round, onion, salt, and pepper in a small Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cinnamon, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.

Add vegetables and rice, and simmer:

Stir in consommé and tomato sauce. Bring to a low boil over medium.
Stir in cabbage, carrots, rice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and bay leaf. Return to a boil over medium. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 25 minutes.

Garnish and serve:

Remove from heat, and let stand, uncovered, 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf; stir in lemon juice and chopped fresh dill.
Ladle evenly into 6 bowls. Garnish with dill sprigs; serve with lemon wedges.
