✅ Ingredients:
• white or green cabbage – 3 lb | 1,3 kg
• beef mince – 14 oz | 400 g
• rice – 7 oz | 200 g
• bulgur – 3,5 oz | 100 g
• tomato paste – 4 tbsp
• onion – 2 oz | 70 g
• garlic – 4 cloves
• cooking oil – 4 tbsp
• butter – 1 tbsp | 20 g
• fresh parsley – 1 oz | 30 g
• sugar – 1 tsp
• water – 1 pt | 450 ml
• red chili flakes – 1 tsp
• ground black pepper – 1 tsp
• salt – 2 tsp
✅You will need:
• microwave oven
• pan Ø 11 in | 28 cm
• 2 bowls
• carving board
???? Preparation:
1. Cut the cabbage-stump out and put the cabbage into a microwave oven for 15 minutes at 800-850W to soften the leaves.
2. Take the cabbage into leaves.
3. In a bowl let’s make a sauce – combine 2 tbsp of tomato paste, 1 tsp of salt, ½ tsp of ground black pepper, 1 tsp of sugar and 1 pt | 450 ml of water.
4. Into a bowl with the meat mince add the washed rice and bulgur, 2 tbsp of tomato paste, softened butter, 1 tsp of salt, ½ tsp of ground black pepper, 1 tsp of red chili flakes, minced garlic, chopped bulb onion and 2 tbsp of chopped up parsley and combine well.
5. It is recommended to cut off thick parts of cabbage leaves. Use a small bowl for wrapping cabbage rolls – lay out 1-2 leaves into the bowl wider than its size, place 2-3 tbsp of the stuffing onto the centre and wrap with the leaves edges.
6. Lay out the prepared stuffed cabbage rolls into a pan with the seams down, tight to one another, pour with the vegetable oil and prepared sauce, bring to a boil and cover with a lid, reduce the heat and braise over low heat for an hour.
7. Serve your Turkish-style cabbage rolls hot with sour-cream and fresh parsley or other greens.
❗️Advices:
1. If the sauce is fully absorbed during the preparation process, add extra sauce, water or broth.
2. You can substitute water in the sauce with meat, chicken, or vegetable broth to enhance the dish's flavor.
3. A vegetarian version can be prepared without ground meat; add more onion, carrots and other vegetables.
4. You can add finely chopped hot pepper to the ground meat for a spicier taste.
5. Use fresh herbs according to your taste.
6. For a more distinctive flavor in the filling, you can add dried or fresh mint, ground paprika and coriander.
7. The recipe works well with ground beef and lamb, or use your preferred meat, such as chicken.
8. You can prepare cabbage leaves without a microwave. To do this, place the cabbage head in boiling water and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Remove the head from the water, peel off the easily removable leaves, then return the head to the water and continue cooking.

FULL RECIPE:
PRINT RECIPE:
Ingredients
1 large head of cabbage green*
Tomato Sauce:
2 Tbsp. oil olive or avocado
1 cup sweet onion finely chopped, divided
2 cloves garlic crushed
15 oz. tomato sauce canned
15 oz. crushed tomatoes canned
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. sugar optional
1 tsp. salt to taste
½ tsp. black pepper to taste
Filling:
1 lb. ground beef or turkey*
1 cup rice cooked, white or brown*
½ cup sweet onion finely chopped, divided
1 clove garlic crushed
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley finely chopped
¼ tsp. paprika
⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Cut and remove about 1 inch from the bottom of the head of cabbage.
Place the entire head of cabbage into the pot of boiling water and boil for 4-5 minutes or until the leaves peel easily and are pliable.
Remove the boiled head of cabbage from the pot and place on a dish towel to let drain.
Once cool to the touch, peel 12 cabbage leaves from the head, being careful not to tear them.
Tomato Sauce:
Add oil and chopped onion to a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion has softened. Add crushed garlic and continue sautéing for an additional minute.
Add in tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
Increase heat to high and bring sauce to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes.
Cabbage Rolls:
Add all filling ingredients to a large bowl. Mash the ingredients together using a potato masher until well combined.
Place one cabbage leaf on a cutting board. Cut a V-shaped incision at the base of each leaf to remove the bottom 1-2 inches of the tough rib.
Add in about 3-4 tablespoons of the filling mixture into each leaf.
Fold the right side of the leaf over the filling and then fold the left side over.
Starting at the base, begin rolling the cabbage leaf up.
Repeat the above steps with the remaining filling and cabbage leafs.
Spray a large 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in tomato sauce and spread it out along the bottom of the dish.
Place cabbage rolls, seam-side-down, in two rows of six rolls.
Cover the baking dish with a piece of aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 60-75 minutes.
RECIPE NOTES
A medium-large head of green cabbage is recommended. Larger leaves are easier to fill up and then roll without them tearing.
Substitute with uncooked cauliflower rice if on a low-carb diet.
Can use 90/10 or 93/7 ground meat.
