Stuffed Cabbage Rolls in Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

1 medium green cabbage

500 g ground meat (beef, pork, or a mix)

100 g rice (uncooked)

1 egg

1 onion, finely chopped

400 ml tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the cabbage

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Place the whole cabbage in the boiling water for a few minutes until the outer leaves become soft.

Carefully separate the leaves and set them aside.

Make the filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, chopped onion, egg, salt, and pepper.

Mix until well combined.

Assemble the rolls

Place a spoonful of filling onto each cabbage leaf.

Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly.

Cook the rolls

Arrange the rolls in a large pan or oven dish.

Pour the tomato sauce over them.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 1–1.5 hours, or bake in the oven at 180 °C for about 1 hour, until the rice is cooked and the rolls are tender.

Serve

Serve hot with extra tomato sauce on top.
