Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 250 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 200 g Cooked white rice
- 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 400 g Canned crushed tomatoes
- 500 ml Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core of the cabbage and carefully peel off 12-15 outer leaves, keeping them intact. Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they are pliable, then set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cooked white rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Lay a cabbage leaf out flat and place 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center. Fold in the sides of the leaf and roll it up tightly to form a compact parcel. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the pot, packing them snugly in a single layer. Depending on the size of your pot, you may need to stack the rolls in layers.
Step 5
Pour the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth over the cabbage rolls, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 50-60 minutes.
Step 6
Occasionally baste the cabbage rolls with the sauce during cooking to keep them moist. Once cooked, the cabbage leaves should be tender, and the filling should be fully cooked through.
Step 7
Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooned with some of the tomato sauce from the pot.
