Cabbage leaves stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, pork, and veal and baked in a savory tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground pork
- ½ pound ground veal
- 1 cup cooked rice
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, divided
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with tomato puree
Directions
Step 1
Place cabbage, core-side down, in an 8- to 10-cup microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave on high until outer leaves are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
Step 2
While the cabbage is cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Combine ground beef, pork, veal, rice, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, basil, and oregano; mix until well combined.
Step 4
Remove 12 outer leaves from the cooled cabbage and trim the thick stems to make them easier to roll.
Step 5
Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves and fold in the ends. Place rolls, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a casserole dish.
Step 6
Combine crushed tomatoes with remaining thyme, basil, and oregano and pour over cabbage rolls.
Step 7
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
Use 2 pounds of ground meat in any combination.
