Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large white or Savoy cabbage
  • 1 oz dried mushrooms
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 mushroom stock cube or chicken stock cube
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and remove the cabbage core. Immerse the whole cabbage and blanch for 2-3 minutes until the outer leaves soften, then gently detach them and cool.
  2. Combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, and egg in a bowl, seasoning generously with salt and pepper before mixing thoroughly.
  3. Soak dried mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes, chop finely once soft. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook fresh mushrooms until golden. Stir in flour and cook for one minute to form a roux. Gradually pour in water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, then add mushroom stock cube, chopped dried mushrooms, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until sauce thickens.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat filling onto each cabbage leaf, fold sides over and roll snugly. Arrange rolls seam-side down in a large casserole dish.
  5. Pour mushroom sauce over the rolls, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F 175°C for 1 hour and 30 minutes until cooked and tender.
  6. Serve hot with extra mushroom sauce on top and enjoy with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Double-dip the filling in the cabbage leaf for a sturdier roll
  • The rolls can be made a day in advance and refrigerated to allow flavors to meld
  • Using uncooked rice requires adding 2 more cups of liquid such as chicken or beef bouillon and increasing cooking time by 30 minutes
