Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Core the head of cabbage and place it in the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the outer leaves are softened. Remove the cabbage and separate 8 large leaves. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, cooked rice, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to make the filling.
Step 3
Trim the thick stem of each cabbage leaf to make it easier to roll. Place about 1/4 cup of the pork mixture in the center of each leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly, tucking in the edges as you go.
Step 4
In a large skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the skillet.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and brown sugar. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls in the skillet.
Step 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with the lid and let the cabbage rolls cook for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve the cabbage rolls hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
