Meatballs with cabbage in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I chop the cabbage for cabbage meatballs in the oven using a food processor with a coarse grater. This way, the cabbage blends well with the minced meat and is almost unnoticeable in the finished dish. Plus, the cabbage meatballs turn out juicy when baked in the oven. The onion should be finely grated or passed through a meat grinder, especially if you're preparing the minced meat yourself. If the cabbage is tough, you can pour boiling water over it or lightly sauté it. I make the cabbage meatballs in the oven quite large. They can be served with vegetables, as there's already rice inside the meatballs. Serve hot.
