Equipment
- Large Stockpot
- Mixing Bowl
- Small Sauté Pan
- Baking Dish
- Sharp knife
- Tongs
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1 large head Green Cabbage
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1.5 cups Cooked White Rice
- 1 large Yellow Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 28 oz Canned Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cabbage Leaves
- Remove the core from the cabbage head. Place the head in boiling water. Peel off leaves as they get soft. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Make the Filling
- Mix the beef, rice, and egg together. Add cooked onions and spices to the bowl. Stir everything until it is well combined.
3. Stuff the Leaves
- Lay one leaf flat on your counter. Place a spoonful of meat in the center. Fold the sides inward over the meat. Roll it up tightly like a small burrito.
4. Prepare the Sauce
- Mix tomatoes, sugar, and lemon juice. Pour a little sauce into the baking dish. This prevents the rolls from sticking.
5. Layer and Bake
- Place the rolls in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake until the meat is fully cooked.
Notes
➡️ Use lean ground beef for a cleaner taste.
➡️ Soak the leaves long enough to prevent tearing.
➡️ Do not overfill the leaves or they will burst.
➡️ Let the rolls rest before serving for better flavor.
➡️ Add extra garlic if you love a bold taste.
➡️ Tightly pack the rolls in the baking dish.
