✨Hello, my name is Oksana! Greetings to everyone who has looked at my page. I hope my recipes will be interesting and useful to you - read, write comments, and of course, Subscribe! 👍
✅👌 Minced meat mixed with boiled rice and wrapped in white cabbage leaves scalded in boiling water - this is the classic version of stuffed cabbage! But over time, many different variations of their preparation appeared.
And the other day I was lucky to try out a wonderful (and new for myself) recipe for unusual cabbage rolls. Today I want to share this recipe with you.
✨Firstly, they are prepared not from white cabbage, but from Peking cabbage. Due to this, they are softer and softer, and it is much easier to form them.
✨ Secondly, the filling is prepared not from meat and rice, but from potatoes and minced meat. Pretty weird, right? But I assure you, it's delicious!
And thirdly, such stuffed cabbage rolls are not prepared in a saucepan or in a pan, but are baked in the oven. It's definitely worth a try! 🥰
📕 To prepare stuffed cabbage you will need: 🥙
Chinese cabbage - 1 fork (large)
Minced meat (any) - 200 g
Potatoes - 3-4 pcs. (not small)
Onion - 2 medium sized heads
Vegetable oil - for frying
Chicken egg - 1 pc.
Breadcrumbs - 1 tbsp. l.
Salt, pepper, suneli hops or other spices - to taste
Flour - 1 tbsp. l.
Sour cream - 1 tbsp. l.
Tomato paste - 2 tbsp l.
👨🏻🍳 Let's start cooking... ⤵️⤵️⤵️
The first step is to prepare the filling. Peel and finely chop the onions.
Pour some vegetable oil into a frying pan and transfer the onion and fry it until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, rinse and rub on a coarse grater into a deep bowl.
Add any minced meat to the potatoes.
We also send fried onions here, without excess oil. Add salt, pepper and other spices (optional).
Stir, beat in an egg and add bread crumbs.
It remains to mix everything well again - and the filling for the stuffing is ready.
It's time to start with the shell. Cut off the lower white part from the head of Chinese cabbage and disassemble it into leaves. We choose the largest ones. Small ones can be used to make a salad, for example.
Then we blanch the cabbage leaves in salted boiling water or put them in the microwave at full power for a few minutes - this will soften them very quickly.
While the cabbage leaves are cooling, prepare the sauce. Pour flour into a dry frying pan and fry until light brown.
Then add tomato paste and sour cream.
Fill everything with hot water. Salt, season to taste and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes and remove the sauce from heat.
We form stuffed cabbage rolls according to the classical scheme. Due to the fact that Chinese cabbage is thinner, it is easier and faster to do this.
Now take any suitable baking dish, pour a little sauce into it. Then we spread the cabbage rolls, and pour all the remaining sauce on top. Next, cover the form with foil and put in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
Such cabbage rolls are very juicy and soft. By the way, as an option, they can be prepared without minced meat at all. So you can take note for the lean table.
