Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large cabbage leaves
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar of your favorite tomato sauce
  • Optional: extra chopped onion, garlic, and herbs for the sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently separate the cabbage leaves from the head. If the core is tough, carefully trim it. You can blanch the leaves in boiling water for a few minutes to make them more pliable.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Lay a cabbage leaf flat. Place about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture near the stem end of the leaf.
  5. Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the stem end to the tip.
  6. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and meat mixture.
  7. Pour about half of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
  8. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the rolls.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  11. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through.
  12. Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, you can sauté some extra chopped onion and garlic before adding the tomato sauce.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs like parsley or dill to the meat mixture or the sauce.
  • If you prefer a less traditional flavor, you can experiment with different seasonings in the meat filling.
