Description
Delicious stuffed cabbage rolls filled with a savory meat mixture and topped with a creamy mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and submerge the head in the boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until the leaves are pliable. Remove the cabbage and let it cool. Gently peel off 12 leaves and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat until all filling is used.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir in the tomato sauce and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Carefully place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down into the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until well blended. Serve the cabbage rolls topped with the mushroom sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground meat with lentils or mushrooms and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
- Add some grated cheese on top of the cabbage rolls before serving for an extra creamy texture.
