Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Roll
Ingredients:
Cabbage Rolls:
1 large head of cabbage
1 lb ground beef
½ lb ground pork
1 cup cooked white rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce:
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp paprika
Directions:
Prepare Cabbage Leaves: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully place the whole cabbage in the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften. Remove cabbage and gently peel off the leaves. Repeat until you have about 10-12 large leaves. Set aside.
Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Assemble Rolls: Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll up, securing the filling inside. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Prepare Sauce: In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Cook Rolls: Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a large baking dish. Pour sauce over the rolls, covering them completely. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until rolls are tender.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Spoon extra sauce over each roll for added flavor.
