Method

Cabbage Rolls Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage head and place it in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes or until the outer leaves are tender. Remove the cabbage and gently peel off the softened leaves. Repeat until you have about 10-12 leaves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rolls

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine the canned tomato sauce, water, sugar, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Bake the Cabbage Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large baking dish, pour a layer of the tomato sauce mixture at the bottom. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolls. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the rolls are cooked through.
