Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 medium head of fresh cabbage
• 0.5 kg ground beef
• 1/2 cup cooked rice (white or brown, optional)
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (16 oz) tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• sour cream, optional

This amount of food is calculated for 4-5 servings, each of which is 2 heads of cabbage.

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take a medium sized frying pan, heat the oil in it and fry the onion over low heat until it becomes soft.

Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan and add a little salt.

Using a large sharp knife, trim off all the outer leaves and tops of the cabbage. Place it in boiling water.

In about a couple of minutes, the top leaf will be ready for use - it needs to be separated from the stem using tweezers. After a minute, you can remove the next leaf, and so on, until there are 8-10 leaves left.

Dry the leaves with a paper towel. Cut off the toughest and hairiest part of the leaf.

Mix beef, rice, onion and raisins in one bowl. Add a little salt. Using a tablespoon, spoon a small portion of the filling into the middle of the sheet. Roll it into a neat envelope and place it on a baking dish with the seam facing down.

In a separate bowl, combine tomato juice, broth and paprika. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, cover the baking sheet with foil and bake in the oven for an hour.

It is best to serve cabbage rolls with sour cream.

These cabbage rolls will not harm your figure. Cooking in the oven, using dietary meat - all this makes the dish extremely healthy.
