Hello dear readers, thank you for visiting my channel!
I don’t like the usual classic stuffed cabbage, but I don’t like minced meat "packed" in a cabbage leaf. I am used to the lazy stuffed cabbage rolls that my mother cooks, and I cook only such stuff myself. It turns out very tasty, because of this, stuffed cabbage always turns out! They are cooked in the oven in a delicious gravy.
So, the preparation of stuffed cabbage begins with the preparation of minced meat.
I always use two types of meat, usually beef and pork. I scroll the meat through a meat grinder, along with cabbage and onions. Onions and cabbage should be visually the same as meat. I add an egg, salt, pepper and literally 2 tablespoons of "cooked" rice to the minced meat. Pour the rice with cold water, bring it to a boil and turn it off. When it cools down, add to the minced meat and mix well.
Next, from the resulting minced meat, I form the buns I need and roll them in homemade bread crumbs. I put it in a greased form and send it to the oven. Now you can start making the gravy.
To do this, sauté onions and carrots over medium heat until the onions are transparent, add a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste and 3 tablespoons of sour cream to them.
Be sure to bay leaves, salt and spices. I add hot water, bring it to a boil and turn it off.
The gravy takes about 20 minutes to prepare. I take out the baking sheet with cabbage rolls from the oven and gently pour the gravy into the baking sheet with a spoon.
Put the stuffed cabbage rolls in the sauce back into the oven for another 30 minutes.
After cooking, the cabbage rolls need to be allowed to stand a little, they will absorb some of the gravy and will be very soft and juicy. They are perfect with mashed potatoes or rice.
