Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
To make the stuffing, mix together the ground beef, cooked rice, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pliable. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
To assemble the stuffed cabbage, take a cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and beef mixture.
In a large baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls on top of the sauce. Pour the beef broth over the cabbage rolls. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through. Serve hot with additional tomato sauce, if desired.
