Cabbage Rolls Recipe

Ingredients
•  1 large head green cabbage
• 450 g ground beef or pork
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp paprika
• fresh dill or parsley, for garnish

Method

To prepare cabbage leaves, bring a large pot of water to boil. Core the cabbage and carefully remove leaves. Blanch leaves for 2–3 minutes until pliable, then drain.

Make the filling in a bowl, combine ground meat, rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt and pepper.

Mix until well-combined.

To stuff and roll, place 2–3 tbsp of filling onto each cabbage leaf. Fold sides over and roll tightly to enclose the filling.

Prepare sauce in a saucepan, heat olive oil. Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, sugar, paprika, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Place cabbage rolls seam-side down in a large baking dish or Dutch oven. Pour sauce evenly over the rolls.

Cover with foil and bake at 175° C for 75–90 minutes, until the rolls are tender and cooked through.

Garnish with fresh dill or parsley before serving.

Enjoy hot with bread or potatoes.
