Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Here's a delicious recipe for Stuffed Cabbage Rolls:
*Ingredients:*
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground meat (beef, pork, or a combination)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
*Instructions:*
1. *Prepare cabbage*: Remove leaves from the cabbage head, blanching them in boiling water to soften.
2. *Make filling*: Mix ground meat, chopped onion, cooked rice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. *Assemble rolls*: Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each cabbage leaf, folding the stem end over the filling and rolling into a neat package.
4. *Cook rolls*: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cabbage rolls, seam-side down, and cook until browned. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
*Tips:*
- *Use fresh cabbage*: Fresh cabbage leaves will make the rolls easier to assemble and more tender.
- *Don't overfill*: Fill the cabbage leaves just enough to allow for folding and rolling.
- *Serve with sour cream*: A dollop of sour cream adds a nice tanginess to the dish.
