Thoroughly rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps the grains stay fluffy.
Slice the cabbage into thin strips. Finely chop the onion, and either grate or mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the garlic and Hungarian Sweet Paprika and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened and reduced in volume.
Pour in the water, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the rice, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or a main course.
