Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage head and blanch them in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they are pliable. Remove and set aside to cool.

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  4. Stir in the cooked rice, dried oregano, mint, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Take one cabbage leaf at a time and place a spoonful of the meat and rice mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a cabbage roll. Repeat this process with the remaining leaves and filling.

  7. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with the broth and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  8. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam side down in a baking dish, nestling them closely together. Pour the tomato mixture over the rolls, making sure they are generously covered.

  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are tender and the flavors have melded together.

  10. Once done, remove the foil and let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing of brightness.
