Serves:

Ingredients

1 large cabbage head
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Remove the core from the cabbage head and carefully separate the leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, tomato paste, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Take a cabbage leaf and place a small amount of the meat mixture in the center. Roll it up, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Place the rolled cabbage leaves in a large pot, seam-side down. Pour in the broth and enough water to cover the cabbage rolls. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2-3 hours, until the meat and rice are fully cooked and tender.
Serve hot and enjoy!
