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

Equipment

  • Large deep pot
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Roll the cabbage leaves with filling and layer in pot. Cook for about 1 hour.
  5. Prepare lemon sauce and pour over rolls before serving.
