A traditional recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls filled with a savory mixture of meat and rice, wrapped in tender cabbage leaves.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully remove the leaves from the cabbage head.
  3. Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place a generous spoonful of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll tightly, tucking in the sides.
  6. In a baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom, then arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down.
  7. Pour the remaining tomato sauce and diced tomatoes over the rolls.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with lentils or mushrooms.
  • These rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
  • Serve with sour cream for added flavor.
