Cabbage Rolls

Method

Cabbage Rolls

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and blanch the leaves for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove and cool.

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Cabbage

    Take a cabbage leaf, place a spoonful of the filling at the base of the leaf, and roll tightly, tucking in the sides. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rolls

    Place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour tomato sauce over the rolls and cover with foil. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45 minutes.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Layer the sliced sweet potatoes in a greased baking dish.

    In a bowl, combine heavy cream, grated cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the sweet potatoes.
