Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1 small, finely diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 24 ounces Tomato sauce
- 15 ounces Tomatoes, diced (canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully peel off 12 to 14 large cabbage leaves and blanch them in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside on a clean towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked white rice, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix until well blended.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides of the leaf and roll it up tightly, forming a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and water to create the sauce.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a large crock pot. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a single layer. Pour half of the sauce over the rolls.
If needed, add any additional cabbage rolls in a second layer and pour the remaining sauce over the top.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is fully cooked.
Carefully remove the cabbage rolls with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a platter. Serve hot with additional sauce spooned over the top.
