Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
- 1 pound lean ground pork (or ground turkey)
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- 2 small yellow onions (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or, 1 tablespoons dried parsley)
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 (14.5 ounce each) can diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 egg
- 1 ¾ cups tomato sauce (divided)
- 1 (10.75 ounce each) can condensed tomato soup
Steps
-
Boil cabbage leaves for about 2 minutes or until soft. (See note below for removing leaves). Set aside to cool.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Cook rice according to package directions but reduce cooking time by 5 minutes so the rice is slightly underdone. Set aside.
-
Cook pork (or turkey), beef, onions, garlic, & seasonings in a pan until no pink remains. Drain any fat. Add in rice, diced tomatoes, and ⅓ cup of tomato sauce. Stir in egg.
-
Mix the remaining tomato sauce and tomato soup in a bowl. Spread a very thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture in a 9x13 pan.
-
Remove or thin any thick stem on cabbage leaves. Lay the cabbage leaf flat and add ¼ to ⅓ cup filling to the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll the cabbage up. Place seam side down in the pan. (See note for small leaves). Repeat with remaining cabbage.
-
Pour sauce over the cabbage and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 75-90 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
