Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of green cabbage leaves (about 12 leaves)
1 lb of ground beef (or turkey)
1 cup of cooked rice
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of tomato sauce
1 large egg
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage – Start by bringing a large pot of water to boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and gently separate the leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes until pliable, then cool them in ice water.
Step 2: Cook the Filling – In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, cooking until brown. Incorporate the cooked rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool before mixing in the egg and Parmesan cheese if using.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls – Lay a cabbage leaf flat, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling at the base, and fold the sides over the filling. Roll tightly from the base to the top and set aside. Repeat until all leaves and filling are used.
Step 4: Bake the Rolls – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour half of the tomato sauce into a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish and pour the remaining sauce over them. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a slightly crispy topping.
Notes
