Cabbage rolls in sour cream sauce

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Cabbage rolls are a dish of Slavic cuisine, although similar versions of this wonderful dish can be found in the cuisines of other countries around the world. Our ancestors didn't just stew cabbage rolls—they slow-cooked them in a Russian oven, making the dish incredibly tender. In villages, cabbage rolls are traditionally made very small, which is more practical. In this recipe, we don't set such a goal, so you can make either tiny cabbage rolls (one bite each) or ones of regular, "proper" size. Serve hot.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 3

    Add salt and spices (to your taste) to the minced meat as well. Add 0.5 cup of water. Knead the meat mixture. Then add another 0.5 cup of water and knead the mixture again. It's better to use ice-cold water.

    Place the cabbage head into boiling water so that it is completely covered with water. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove the cabbage head and let it cool. Separate the cabbage into leaves. Tenderize the thick part of each leaf with a meat mallet. Place a meat patty, formed from the prepared ground meat, onto the edge of each leaf.
