  • 8.8 oz ground pork 250 g
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked rice 500 g
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 1/2 cups beef stock or preferred stock 0.6 liters
  • 1 tbsp salt plus extra for cabbage water
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cups passata tomato purée 0.7 liters
  • 3 heaping tbsp tomato paste 70 g
  • 1 2/3 cups beef stock for sauce 0.4 liters
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 8 allspice berries
  • 8 peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp salt for sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp butter for finishing

Instructions

  1. Remove the core and gently separate whole cabbage leaves. Boil the leaves in salted water for 2 to 3 minutes until soft, then drain and let them cool.
  2. Mix ground veal or beef, ground pork, cooked rice, diced onion, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary thoroughly in a bowl.
  3. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto a cabbage leaf, fold the edges, and roll tightly. Continue until all mixture and leaves are used.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, lay few cabbage leaves on bottom, then arrange the rolls seam-side down in a single layer.
  5. Pour 0.6 liters beef stock over the rolls, bring to a simmer, cover with a pressure cooker lid, seal, and cook under pressure for 15 minutes. Quickly release the pressure and remove the lid with care.
  6. In the same pot, combine passata, tomato paste, 0.4 liters beef stock, garlic cloves, allspice, peppercorns, salt, and bay leaves, then spoon this sauce over the rolls and add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Cover and cook gently on low heat for 90 minutes until the rolls are tender and flavors combine well.
