Equipment

  • Large deep pot
  • Slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

For the cabbage rolls

  • 2 kg cabbage (70 ounces)
  • 1 kg ground beef (35 ounces)
  • 2 medium-sized red onions finely chopped
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

For the lemon sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tbsp flour
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions
 

  • To make these delicious stuffed cabbage rolls, start by preparing the cabbage. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, open up carefully its leaves and wash thoroughly. In a large, deep pot, add some water and bring to the boil.
  • Take some of the cabbage leaves and blanch them in the boiling water; parboiling the cabbage leaves before rolling them will make them softer and easier to roll. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a clean working surface.
  • Prepare the stuffing. In a large bowl add the ground beef, the rice, the chopped onions, the parsley, the dill, the egg whites and season; knead the mixture well.
  • Roll the cabbage leaves with filling and layer in pot. Cook for about 1 hour.
  • Prepare lemon sauce and pour over rolls before serving.
