Stuffed cabbage takes an afternoon; this skillet takes thirty-five minutes. Beef, rice and chopped cabbage simmer in a sweet-and-sour tomato sauce with paprika and dill, exactly like the filling and the sauce of the original. A spoon of yogurt on top plays the sour cream.

Tips

Chop the cabbage in bite-size pieces so it softens in the same time as the rice.
Taste at the end and add a little more vinegar or sugar to balance.
