Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head into the boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove the cabbage and let it cool. Separate the large, tender leaves.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of the leaf, fold the sides in, and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and beef broth, bringing it to a simmer.
- Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a baking dish, pour the tomato sauce over them, and cover the dish with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour, until the rolls are cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
