Ingredients:1 cup COOKED long-grain rice (or similar variety)1.5 pounds lean ground beef (or \u2018extra lean\u2019)1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce1 large egg1 yellow onion , peeled and minced\u2153 cup parsley , roughly chopped3 cloves garlic , minced1.5 teaspoons salt\u00bd teaspoon black pepper\u00bd teaspoon dried dill\u00bd teaspoon onion powder\u00bd to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)42 ounces tomato sauce , divided (Three 398 millilitre cans or 14 ounce cans (roughly 5 cups). See point 5 below in recipe \u2018Notes.\u2019)1 medium head green cabbage (you\u2019ll need about 18 leaves for the rolls and another 8 to 10 or so for the bottom of the dish and over top.)\u00bd cup water (leftover from boiling cabbage)fresh dill , chopped (garnish, optional)Instructions:Cook rice per package instructions and lay to one side. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit at this point too.In a large bowl combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, egg, cooked rice, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, dill, onion powder, red chili flakes (if using) and \u00bd cup of tomato sauce. Mix until combined.In a large point of boiling water, add head of cabbage and boil for 8 to 10 minutes (carefully turn over partway through). Carefully remove. Don\u2019t discard water because you will need to re-boil the cabbage as you start to peel off the leaves and you will need some of the water for your sauce.Note: Don\u2019t fill pot all the way up because the cabbage will displace some of the water. Before boiling water, test how much the water will displace by placing the head of cabbage in the pot.Once cabbage is cool enough to handle, carefully remove leaves and cut out core from each leaf. Once you start taking leaves off, you\u2019ll likely need to add the cabbage back to the boiling water (to soften more leaves). Just boil for another bit, let cool enough to handle and continue removing leaves.Place some cabbage leaves on the bottom of a deep 9\u2033 x 13\u2033 baking dish or roasting pan. Taking one leaf at a time, distribute about \u00bc cup of ground beef mixture on top and wrap up (fold in sides and roll up, placing in prepared dish, seam side down. Continue with remaining ground beef mixture\/leaves.Combine remaining tomato sauce with \u00bd cup of cabbage water. Whisk to incorporate everything. Pour over top of cabbage rolls.Note: You could stir in about a tablespoon or so of white or brown sugar into the tomato sauce if you want less of a tomato bite. I like the brightness of tomatoes, so I skip this.Top with more cabbage leaves. Cover casserole dish tightly with foil. Cover and bake about 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.Once done, be careful removing foil covering as there will be steam. Discard top cabbage leaves. Allow to cool for 20 minutes or so before digging in. Garnish, if desired. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
