Ingredients

  • 1 large Head of cabbage
  • 1.5 lbs Ground pork
  • 0.75 cup Rice
  • 1 large Onion
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Sour Cream Alternative
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1Remove the core of the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, egg, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. 3Place a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Put a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly.
  4. 4In a large pot or Dutch oven, layer some crushed tomatoes on the bottom. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls tightly in the pot.
  5. 5Pour tomato sauce and beef broth over the cabbage rolls. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through.
  6. 6Serve hot, topped with a dairy-free sour cream alternative.
