Cabbage Roll Ups are the ultimate comfort food that brings warmth and nostalgia to your dinner table with every delicious bite!

1

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a large pot of boiling salted water, carefully remove the core of the cabbage and submerge the head in the water for about 5 minutes until the leaves soften. Remove the cabbage and let it cool.

3

While the cabbage is cooling, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

4

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice (either pre-cooked or soaked as per rice package instructions), sautéed onions, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until combined.

5

Once cooled, peel off the cabbage leaves carefully. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture into each leaf. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides.

6

Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle any leftover meat mixture over the rolls.

7

Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the cabbage rolls, ensuring they are well covered.

8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

9

After baking, remove the foil and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

• Incorporate spices like paprika or cumin for an extra kick.

• Ensure cabbage leaves are soft to avoid tearing.
