Instructions

  1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Core the cabbage and carefully remove the outer leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3Place a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
  4. 4Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and meat mixture.
  5. 5In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the pot.
  6. 6Pour the tomato sauce and beef broth over the cabbage rolls. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are tender and cooked through.
