Description

Cabbage rolls are a staple in most eastern European cuisines and are delicious with a hearty rice and meat filling.

Method

Step 1 of 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the cabbage for 5 minutes, rotate carefully with a kitchen tongs and cook for 5 more minutes, until the leaves start to come away. Remove from the pot, reserve the water and allow to cool slightly, then separate into leaves and cut out the tough stem of each leaf.

Step 2 of 5

Heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat and cook the onions and carrot for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and parsley and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove 1/3 of this mixture and set aside in a bowl.

Step 3 of 5

Tip the rice into the pan and mix well with the carrot and onion. Pour over 1/4 of the chopped tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the pork mince, mixing well. Season generously.

Step 4 of 5

Pre-heat the oven to 220°C. Add a heaped tablespoon of filling to each cabbage leaf, fold the ends over and roll up tightly. Stack the rolls in a large ovenproof casserole dish and pour over the remaining chopped tomatoes, the carrot and onion mix and enough cabbage water to just cover the rolls.

Step 5 of 5

Bake with the lid on for 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 170°C and bake for 1 hour, until bubbling and cooked through. Serve with sour cream on top.
