Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef or pork (or a mix)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 cups tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water. Remove the core from the cabbage and add the head to the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the leaves are softened, then remove and let cool before separating the leaves.
- In a bowl, mix together ground meat, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
- Take 2-3 tablespoons of the filling and place it in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over and roll tightly, resembling a burrito.
- In a skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil on medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down and brown lightly on all sides.
- Pour the tomato sauce and beef broth over the rolls. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 45-60 minutes until the rolls are tender and fully cooked.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure that the cabbage leaves are soft enough to roll without tearing.
Feel free to customize the filling by adding your favorite herbs and spices.
