Stuffed cabbage rolls

Stuffed cabbage rolls are a classic dish with variations across different cuisines, featuring tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a flavorful filling. Here’s a basic overview of how to make them:

Ingredients:

  • Cabbage: One large head, leaves separated and boiled to soften.
  • Filling: Typically a mixture of ground beef, pork, or a combination, with rice, onions, garlic, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Sauce: Often made with tomato sauce or a blend of tomato paste and broth, sometimes with a bit of sugar or vinegar for balance.

Instructions:

  1. Prep Cabbage: Boil the cabbage leaves until soft enough to roll.
  2. Make Filling: Cook rice, then mix with ground meat, sautéed onions, garlic, and seasonings.
  3. Roll: Place a spoonful of filling on each cabbage leaf, roll up, and tuck in the sides.
  4. Cook: Place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish, cover with tomato sauce, and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
