✅ Instructions
Preparing Rice and Cabbage
Rinse 2 mugs of rice and transfer to a large saucepan. Add31/2 mugs of water with 1 Tbsp olive oil painting and 1 tsp swab. Bring to a pustule also reduce heat, cover and poach for 20 min, or until all water is absorbed.
Fill2/3 of a large haze pot with water and bring to boil. Add1/2 Tbsp swab and 4 Tbsp ginger.
Peel and discard the two external leaves from each cabbage. Use a cutter to cut out the cabbage cores. Place first cabbage in water, cork side down, for 5 twinkles, flip cabbage over and continue cooking for 5- 6 min. Pull off leaves as they begin to soften. Leaves cook briskly if pulled piecemeal. Remove the leaves to a server to cool when they’re done. Leaves are done when soft and unheroic and larger leaves will turn a dull green. Repeat with the alternate cabbage, adding further water if demanded. Reserve 4 mugs of water from the pot.
Prepare the Stuffing
In a large coliseum, or a stage mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine flesh and rice.
Grate 4 carrots and saute in a large visage in 3 Tbsp oil painting and 1 Tbsp adulation over med/ high heat until softened also add 1 mug marinara sauce and saute another nanosecond. Add admixture to rice and flesh also add 2 eggs and 1 Tbsp swab and mix well.
Cutting Leaves and Making Stuffed Cabbage
Large leaves cut the leaves in half down the center along the stem and remove the tough stem portion. Place 2 Tbsp meat admixture at top of each splint( or what you can fit since splint sizes vary). Roll the splint into a cone shape with the thicker part of the splint at the base and stuff the wide, thinner leaves into the top. Arrange stuffed cabbage in layers in a dutch roaster or heavy- bottomed haze pot.
Small Leaves slice off the raised face of the tough center stem to flatten leaves for easier rolling. Fill each cabbage splint with about 2 Tbsp meat admixture. Place the filling over the stem/ bottom portion. Roll like a burrito and stuff both ends in at the end.
Make the Sauce
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil painting in a skillet. Saute the remaining 2 grated carrots with 1 tsp ofMrs. gusto, cooking until soft. Add 1 Tbsp sour cream and 1 mug marinara sauce. Saute another nanosecond and remove from heat.
Pour Podliva sauce over stuffed cabbage and add enough reticent water to nearly cover rolls(21/2 to 3 mugs).
