  • Yield: Approximately 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head green cabbage
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Blanch cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and submerge it for about 5 minutes until leaves soften.
  2. Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Form rolls: Take one softened cabbage leaf, place about two tablespoons of filling at the base, roll tightly while tucking in sides.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish and arrange rolls seam-side down. Pour remaining sauce over them and cover with foil. Bake for about 1 hour until rice is tender.
