Ingredients

  • 6 large cabbage leaves
  • 400g ground pork
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a pot of boiling water, blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove and drain.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, cooked rice, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Place 2-3 tablespoons of the pork mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.

  4. 4

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage rolls seam side down and cook for about 5 minutes until browned.

  5. 5

    Pour the diced tomatoes over the cabbage rolls, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
