Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Egg
• 2 cups Tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried dill
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Carefully remove 12-14 whole leaves from the cabbage head and trim the thick stem at the base of each leaf.

Step 3

Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until pliable. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly but do not overwork the meat mixture.

Step 5

Lay a cooled cabbage leaf flat and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture at the base of the leaf. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat until all the filling is used.

Step 6

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and dill.

Step 8

Pour the tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours, ensuring that the sauce gently bubbles.

Step 9

Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooning some of the tomato sauce over the top. Enjoy!
