Comforting stuffed cabbage rolls filled with a savory blend of ground meat, rice, and spices, baked in a delicious tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground chicken (Halal)
  • 1 cup white rice, uncooked
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth (Halal)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of water. While waiting, remove the core from the cabbage and peel off the leaves.
  2. Once the water is boiling, add the cabbage leaves and blanch for about 2-3 minutes. Remove and cool on a towel.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic for an additional minute.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the ground meat, rice, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and egg. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Take a blanched cabbage leaf, place 2-3 tablespoons of filling at the base, and roll snugly, tucking in the sides. Repeat.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, pour a layer of tomato sauce, then place the rolls seam-side down on top. Pour the broth over and add the remaining sauce. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Once baked, let cool for a few minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, add Worcestershire sauce to the filling. Great for make-ahead meals.
