Description

These Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls are for the lazy ones… we love to make them in winter. Less work, more fun in the kitchen! ;P


Ingredients

Scale

For the unstuffed cabbage rolls:
some oil for frying
1 large onion, diced
23 garlic cloves, finely chopped
17.6 oz. (500g) miced meat (beef & pork mixed)
8.8 oz. (250g) uncooked rice
1 tbsp. mustard
1 pointed cabbage (about 45 oz./1,3kg), in pieces
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. died thyme
salt, pepper
2 cups (500ml) veggie broth
25 oz. (700g) tomato passata*
1 can (14 oz./400g) cherry tomatoes*
2 bay leaves

For the sour cream topping:
7 oz. (200g) sour cream
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
12 stalks of dill, chopped
some chili flakes
salt, pepper

some extra chopped dill for decorations


Instructions

1. Peel the onion and garlic – dice the onion and chop the garlic finely. Remove the outer leaves of the pointed cabbage, if necessary, cut into quarters, remove the stem, and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Heat up a large Dutch oven* with some oil. Add the diced onion and chopped garlic and sauté until soft and glossy. Add the minced meat and fry/cook until nicely browned – takes about 4-5 minutes. Next, mix in the uncooked rice and mustard and let cook with the rest with a minute or so. Add the cabbage and cook for about 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly. Season with the dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Deglaze the cabbage with the veggie broth, then add the tomato passata, canned cherry tomatoes, and bay leaves. Make sure everything is well mixed in. Let everything come to a boil once, then close the Dutch oven with a lid and place it in the oven. Let the unstuffed cabbage rolls braise for about 55-60 minutes.

3. For the topping, mix the sour cream with lemon juice and chopped dill. Season with some chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Serve the cabbage in bowls with some sour cream sauce on top and sprinkled with more chopped dill. Enjoy!
