Ingredients:
12 cabbage leaves
1/2 pound uncooked ground beef
1/2 pound uncooked ground pork
1 15 ounces can tomato sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup long grain rice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dill
Instructions:
Remove 12-13 cabbage leaves from your cabbage and wash them.
There is a thick vein in the middle of each leaf. Cut this out, making a V cut in the leaf.
Place the leaves into a pot of hot water and heat the water up. On medium heat, cook the leaves for 5-10 minutes. They should be wilted a bit.
While the leaves are cooking, add the beef, pork, onions, rice, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, parsley, salt, dill and cayenne. Mix ingredients until incorporated.
Drain the water from the cabbage leaves pot and it’s time to assemble.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Place a cabbage leave down and add a heaping spoonful (around 1/4 cup, depending on size of leaf), onto the middle of the leaf. Fold the bottom sides in and then roll up, tucking in the leaf as needed.
Place into a baking dish. Repeat until all the leaves are used.
In a small bowl, add the remaining tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and sugar and mix.
Pour over the cabbage rolls.
Cover the cabbage rolls with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove from the oven and serve.
