Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage Leaves
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Remove the core of the cabbage with a sharp knife.
Place the whole cabbage in boiling water and cook for 3–5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the softened leaves one by one.
Set aside 12–14 large, intact leaves. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Remove the large rib at the base of each leaf to make rolling easier.
Tip: If the cabbage remains too firm, immerse it in boiling water for a few minutes and remove other leaves.
Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, cooked rice, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper.
Mix gently by hand or with a spoon until smooth (avoid overworking the stuffing to prevent it from becoming compact).
Step 3: Roll the Cabbage Leaves
Spread a cabbage leaf on a board, rib down.
Place 2–3 tablespoons of stuffing near the base of the leaf.
Fold the sides over the stuffing, then roll tightly like a burrito.
Repeat the operation until you have used up all the stuffing and leaves.
