Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Instructions
Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core of the cabbage.
Place the whole cabbage in the boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until the outer leaves are tender
and pliable. Remove the cabbage from the pot and let it cool. Gently separate the leaves, being
careful not to tear them. Set aside about 12 large leaves for rolling.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced
garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and dill. Mix until all the ingredients are well

incorporated.
Assemble the Rolls: Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the
center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling
completely. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, olive oil, and
water or beef broth. Mix well.
Cook the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture
on the bottom of a large baking dish or Dutch oven. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side
down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolls, ensuring they are well covered.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until
the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through.
Serve: Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot, spooning some of the tomato
sauce over each roll.
