Dairy-Free Golubtsi (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)

Ingredients

• 1 large Cabbage head
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 cup Cooked rice
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 28 oz Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage head and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the outer leaves become pliable. Remove leaves one by one as they soften. Set aside to cool.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. 3Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Place a cabbage leaf on a work surface. Place about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a cabbage roll.
5. 5Repeat with remaining cabbage leaves and meat mixture.
6. 6In a large baking dish, arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down.
7. 7Pour tomato sauce and vegetable broth over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil.
8. 8Bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until cabbage rolls are tender and sauce has thickened.
9. 9Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
