Ingredients for cabbage rolls and sauce

All ingredients: raw pork or pork, onion, white cabbage (leaves), white parabolic rice, a few dried porcini mushrooms, soy or maggi sauce, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, garlic, fresh tomato or canned , broth, cream 30%. Fresh bread or boiled potatoes.

White cabbage

Preparation of cabbage. Put the cabbage in a large pot, pour water over it, salt it and cook it whole. During cooking, from time to time, take out the cabbage and tear off the cooked leaves, put the remaining cabbage back into a pot with boiling water and cook, then take out and tear off more cooked leaves. Leave the cabbage leaves cooked in this way to dry and cool.

Stuffing

Preparation of stuffing. Grind the raw meat with a meat grinder, add the diced onion. We also add the previously soaked and finely chopped dried porcini mushrooms and semi-hard parabolic rice. The ratio of rice and meat is 1: 1. Of course, you can modify them depending on your preferences. Season the whole with spices with soy sauce, spices, water it with broth if necessary, and mix it until it is sticky.

Sauce

Preparation of tomato sauce with garlic: Add peeled and diced fresh tomatoes (or canned) to the previously prepared broth. Add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, a bit of ground hot pepper, diced garlic (not pressed through the food processor). Stew for a dozen or so minutes, until the tomatoes are tender, add 30% thick cream.

Preparation of cabbage rolls: Put the prepared stuffing on the cooked cabbage leaves and wrap the cabbage in such a way that they do not open during stewing (you can use special threads or pins to strengthen the cabbage). Put the cabbage leaves on the bottom of a roasting pan or ovenproof pot. Place the cabbage rolls on the leaves, gently water the broth and put them in the oven. Stew at 180 degrees until tender.👨‍🍳
