Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- 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 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove the softened outer leaves. Repeat until you have 12-14 leaves. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf, tucking in the sides, and place seam side down in a large baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce and beef broth. Pour over the cabbage rolls in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Serve the spicy cabbage rolls hot, with a side of sour cream or yogurt if desired. Enjoy!
