total time: 1 hour 45 minutes
recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- salt
- 24 ounces sauerkraut, drained
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil then submerge the head of cabbage in the boiling water and cook for about 20 seconds then take the water out of the water and rinse under cold water. This process will help loosen the cabbage leaves so theyre easier to remove.
- Carefully remove the cabbage leaves, doing your best to keep them intact. Cut out any thick veins from the cabbage leaves. You want to end up with about 6 large size cabbage leaf pieces. Set the removed cabbage leaves aside.
- Place the uncooked rice, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/4 tsp salt into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil cover then pan then turn off the heat and let the rice sit in the covered pan for about 10 minutes (rice will only be partially cooked).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the sauerkraut into a 9x13-inch baking dish then set aside.
- In a large bowl mix together the rice, beef, pork, smoked paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne, and 1 tsp salt until well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture evenly among each cabbage leaf. Form the meat into oblong shapes then roll the meat up in the cabbage leaves.
- Nestle the cabbage rolls seam-side down into the baking dish on top of the sauerkraut.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water around the cabbage rolls then cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
