Cooking steps

Today we are preparing very tasty and juicy cabbage rolls with minced meat, rice and vegetables.

For this recipe I use savoy cabbage. Its leaves are softer and more tender, so it is very convenient to cook cabbage rolls with them. But you can make cabbage rolls from regular white cabbage in the same way.

 Let's prepare the necessary products.

2 Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced meat Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced meat Minced meat can be taken from any meat. I like the combination of pork and beef or pork and chicken.
Chop the onion. You can finely chop it with a knife or grind it using a blender. Add onion to the minced meat. We take a lot of onions - it is thanks to them that the cabbage rolls turn out especially juicy.
Boil the rice for 3-4 minutes, then drain the excess water and add the rice to the minced meat.
Cut the bell pepper into small cubes.
Chop a couple of cloves of garlic.
We also finely chop the parsley.
And we add all this vegetable splendor to the minced meat.

Let's prepare the cabbage.

We disassemble the head of cabbage into individual leaves. If the leaves are difficult to separate, you can carefully trim them at the base.

Cut off the thickened part of small and medium-sized leaves. Large leaves can be cut into 2 or even 3 parts - it all depends on the size of the head of cabbage.

Pour water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they become soft and elastic. Then we take out the leaves and let them cool a little.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan.
Add crushed tomatoes in their own juice.
Dilute the tomatoes a little with water so that the sauce does not turn out too thick. Salt to taste.
Bring the sauce to a boil and add cabbage rolls.
You can put a plate on top so that the cabbage rolls do not float up during stewing and remain completely covered with sauce.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer the cabbage rolls over low heat for 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the cabbage rolls brew for another 10 minutes.
