Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 15 ounce can Crushed tomatoes
• 15 ounce can Tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Core the cabbage and carefully peel off the outer leaves, keeping them intact.

Step 2

Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until pliable. Remove and drain on a towel. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended.

Step 5

Lay one cabbage leaf flat. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the base to the top. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 6

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sear the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down for about 2-3 minutes, just until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, white vinegar, raisins (if using), and water. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 8

Nestle the cabbage rolls into the sauce, seam-side down, ensuring they're mostly submerged. Spoon some sauce over the tops.

Step 9

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours. Check occasionally and add a little water if the sauce becomes too thick.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional sugar to balance the sweet and sour flavor.

Step 11

Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooning additional sauce over the top.
