Filling and Rolls

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare Cabbage

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage. Once the water is boiling, add the whole cabbage and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the outer leaves are tender. Remove the cabbage and let it cool. Once cool, carefully peel off the leaves.

  2. 2

    Make Filling

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

  3. 3

    Assemble Rolls

    Take a cabbage leaf, place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling at the base of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

  4. 4

    Cook Cabbage Rolls

    In a large baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
