Stuffed Cabbage

Warm up your weeknight with these hearty stuffed cabbage rolls, filled with savory ground beef and fluffy rice, all smothered in rich tomato sauce. A comforting dish that brings family together around the table.

• 1 large cabbage
• 500 grams ground beef
• 200 grams rice
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 500 ml tomato sauce

Method

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes until pliable. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

3. 3

   Take a cabbage leaf, place a spoonful of the meat mixture at the base, and roll tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Repeat until all mixture is used.

4. 4

   In a large pot, arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down. Pour tomato sauce over the rolls and add enough water to cover them halfway.

5. 5

   Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 60-70 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through.

6. 6

   Once cooked, remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve hot, drizzled with additional tomato sauce if desired.
