Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 250 grams, finely chopped Mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage (about 12 leaves) and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pliable. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture at the base of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly, starting from the base. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and golden brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to dissolve any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for another 2 minutes. Adjust consistency by adding more broth if it’s too thick.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the mushroom gravy on the bottom. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls on top and pour the remaining gravy evenly over them.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the rolls are tender and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Mushroom Gravy Sauce!
