Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cabbage rolls from fresh cabbage? Prepare the necessary ingredients to prepare cabbage rolls from fresh cabbage with meat in a saucepan. Rice can be taken either round or long grain. Use any minced meat you wish. I have a mixed one (pork and beef). If the bulbs are large, then 2-3 pieces are enough. My onion is small.

Step 2

Step 2
To boil the head of cabbage, choose a large, spacious pan so that there is enough free space between the head of cabbage and the walls. Place the head of cabbage in a saucepan, add water, and bring to a boil. Boil the cabbage for about 2 minutes. During this time, the upper leaves will become soft. Hold the head of cabbage with a fork and use a knife to cut off the top couple of leaves at the base. Carefully, so as not to burn yourself, remove the leaves from the head of cabbage.

In this way, gradually boil all the leaves suitable for stuffing. They should be soft, but not overcooked. I got 16 cabbage leaves of different sizes.

Rinse the rice thoroughly in water several times. Cook the rice in boiling salted water until almost done. Place the cooked rice in a sieve to drain the water.
