To make this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup water
To start, you'll need to prepare the cabbage leaves. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they are tender and pliable. Remove the leaves from the water and set them aside to cool.
Next, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
To assemble the cabbage rolls, take a cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Roll the leaf around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go, and place the roll seam-side down in a large pot or Dutch oven. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
In a separate bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. Pour the tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls in the pot, making sure they are fully covered. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 45-60 minutes, until the cabbage rolls are tender and the filling is cooked through.
When the cabbage rolls are done, remove them from the pot and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chopped chives if desired. These Super Easy Polish Cabbage Rolls are a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion!
