Cabbage Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then carefully remove the softened outer leaves. Continue this process until you have about 12 large leaves. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Place a spoonful of the beef and rice mixture onto the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf around the filling, tucking in the sides as you roll, to create a neat package.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Pour a small amount of the tomato mixture into the bottom of a large pot. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the pot. Pour the remaining tomato mixture over the top of the cabbage rolls.
- Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through.
- Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooning some of the tomato sauce over the top. Enjoy!
