I can’t eat a salad for very long. I can do like…. a small handful of lettuce dunked in ranch but then i’m over it and I just want something else. Give me my steak already! But I loooove love love stuffed cabbage. What I extra love is that it is a lebanese dish (when you make it with lamb especially) but lamb is expensive and not as easy to get, so I make mine with ground beef. I am a BIG plain jane, so I don’t add a ton into mine, but I will share with you some ideas to add more! :) Enjoy
Get yourself I roll of cabbage. Boil a large pot of water and add cabbage and let boil for approximately 3 minutes.
In the meantime and in a large bowl, add 1.5lb burger, 1 egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper, 1/4 cup milk and mix together.
In another bowl, mix together lemon juice, worstershire sauce, and tomato sauce.
Once the cabbage is finished boiling, peel off the pieces. Below you’ll see how I set up my kitchen to make a nice and easy buffet style for making the stuffed cabbage.
from left to right: cabbage draining, empty bowl for cabbage leaves, final dish for baking, burger mix. tomato sauce mix.
I was able to rip each cabbage leaf in half and take a small handful of meat and roll up into the leaf. Then I place it into the baking dish. If you add more into your meat mixture, you will end up with more rolls, are (without ripping the leaves in half) large cabbage rolls.
Once you’re done rolling up your leaves and placing them into the dish, pour the tomato mixture over top the rolls.
Cover your dish with tin foil and Bake your rolls in the oven at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
