Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 large head green cabbage (1 1/2 pounds), cored
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced small
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups crushed tomatoes (from a 28-ounce can)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup cooked long-grain white rice
1/2 pound ground beef chuck
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook cabbage, turning often, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and, with tongs, gently separate leaves. Cut out thick ribs from 8 to 10 of the largest leaves and set leaves aside. Shred remaining cabbage and place in an 8-inch square baking dish set on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer half the onion mixture to a large bowl. Add tomatoes, sugar, and vinegar to saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce on top of shredded cabbage in dish.
  • To bowl with onion mixture, add rice, ground beef, and egg and season with salt and pepper. With your hands, mix well, then divide into 8 portions. Working with a few leaves at a time, lay cabbage on a work surface, overlapping smaller leaves to form one larger leaf if necessary. Place a portion of beef in the center of each. Fold bottom half of cabbage over filling, then fold in sides and roll up tightly. Transfer cabbage rolls, seam side down, to baking dish. Top with remaining sauce, cover dish with foil, and bake on sheet 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake until sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cabbage leaves. Fresh cabbage leaves are more pliable and easier to roll than older leaves. If you can't find fresh cabbage leaves, you can use frozen cabbage leaves, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves before stuffing them. Blanching the cabbage leaves helps to soften them and make them more pliable. To blanch the leaves, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the cabbage leaves into the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly wilted. Remove the leaves from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The traditional beef and rice filling is delicious, but you can also use other fillings, such as pork and rice, ground turkey and rice, or even vegetarian fillings, such as lentils and rice or quinoa and vegetables.
  • Don't overstuff the cabbage rolls. If you overstuff the cabbage rolls, they will be difficult to roll and they may fall apart during cooking. Fill the cabbage leaves loosely so that there is a little bit of space between the filling and the edges of the leaves.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls in a covered dish. Cooking the cabbage rolls in a covered dish helps to keep them moist and prevents them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Beef and rice stuffed cabbage rolls are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. They are also relatively easy to make, especially if you use pre-cooked rice. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
