Savor the Comfort: Wholesome Cabbage Rolls Packed with Flavorful Meat

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 egg
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 onion, finely chopped

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by boiling a large pot of water. Once boiling, core the cabbage and immerse it in the water. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until the outer leaves soften. Remove and let cool before peeling off the large leaves.
2. In a mixing bowl, blend the ground beef, ground pork, rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika thoroughly.
3. Take about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture and place it in the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
4. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Place the rolls seam side down in the pot.
5. Mix the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the cabbage rolls in the pot.
6. Bring the pot to a simmer, then lower the heat, cover, and let it cook for about 1.5 hours. The rolls should be tender and the meat fully cooked.
7. Serve hot, topped with some of the cooking sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if using.
