Hey everyone! I'm excited to share one of my family's all-time favorite dinner recipes: Savory Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. These hearty rolls are filled with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, rice, and herbs, then simmered in a rich tomato sauce until tender and delicious. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
  1. Start by prepping the cabbage leaves. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage head and place it in the boiling water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the outer leaves are tender and easy to peel off. Remove the leaves with tongs and set them aside to cool.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Take each cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the beef and rice mixture at the base of the leaf. Roll the leaf tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
  7. In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to create the sauce.
  8. Pour a small amount of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish.
  9. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls, covering them completely.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are tender.
  11. Once done, remove the foil and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
  12. Serve the Savory Stuffed Cabbage Rolls hot, spooning some of the tomato sauce over each roll. They pair wonderfully with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
