Introducing a delicious and comforting dish: Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. These hearty and flavorful rolls are packed with a savory filling and are perfect for a cozy family dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the outer leaves are softened. Remove the cabbage from the water and carefully peel off the leaves. Set aside.

- To assemble the cabbage rolls, place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto a cabbage leaf and roll it up, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour the tomato sauce and broth over the cabbage rolls. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour.
- Serve the stuffed cabbage rolls hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy this comforting and satisfying meal!
