🧾 Ingredients
🥬 For the Cabbage Rolls:
1 large head green cabbage
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (or beef & pork mix)
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: paprika or parsley
🍅 For the Sauce:
1 can (14–15 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
Salt & pepper, to taste
🍳 Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Carefully remove cabbage leaves and boil for 2–3 minutes until soft. Drain.
In a bowl, mix ground meat, rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
Place filling on each cabbage leaf and roll tightly, tucking in sides.
Spread a little sauce on the bottom of a baking dish or pot.
Arrange rolls seam-side down.
Pour remaining sauce over the rolls.
Cover and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 1½–2 hours (or simmer gently on the stove).
Rest 10 minutes before serving.
🔥 Cooking Method
This recipe uses a slow-cook method, allowing the cabbage to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully. The rice cooks inside the rolls, absorbing juices from the meat and sauce — creating deep, comforting flavor.
