How to cook deliciously - Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Tomato Sauce
1. Stage
Place cabbage, core-side down, in an 8- to 10-cup microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave on high until outer leaves are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
2. Stage
While the cabbage is cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Stage
Combine ground beef, pork, veal, rice, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, basil, and oregano; mix until well combined.
4. Stage
Remove 12 outer leaves from the cooled cabbage and trim the thick stems to make them easier to roll.
5. Stage
Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves and fold in the ends. Place rolls, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a casserole dish.
6. Stage
Combine crushed tomatoes with remaining thyme, basil, and oregano and pour over cabbage rolls.
7. Stage
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
