Step cooking
- We wash 200 g of rice and boil it over low heat until half cooked. Finely chop the 300 g cabbage and fry it in a pan, adding 100 ml of vegetable oil.
- Rub on a medium grater 1 carrot. Cut 1 head of leek. In a separate pan, pour 100 g of oil and send onions with carrots to it. Constantly mixing, fry them until half cooked.
- In a deep plate, mix 600 g of ground beef, fried cabbage, onions and carrots.
- Add boiled rice, 1 egg to the ingredients and pepper to taste.
- Mix everything well and form small balls from the resulting mixture. In total, you get about 6 pieces.
- Pour 100 ml of vegetable oil into the pan and heat it. We send stuffed cabbage to the pan and fry them a little on both sides.
- Pour 250 ml of tomato juice into a deep bowl, add 150 g of sour cream, salt and pepper to taste to it. Mix everything until smooth.
- Pour stuffed cabbage with the resulting liquid mixture.
- We cover the pan with a lid and let the dish stew for 45 minutes.
- We lay out the finished cabbage rolls on portioned plates and, if desired, crush with greens.
The main trick of cooking such a lazy version of the dish is to exclude the most time-consuming cooking process - the formation of cabbage leaves. Just adding cabbage directly to the filling will not change the taste of the finished cabbage rolls, but it will greatly facilitate the task of the hostess. All that is needed is to add an egg, starch or a little flour to the minced meat so that the finished dish does not lose its shape.
This recipe for lazy cabbage rolls is perfect for housewives who value every free minute. For the shortest possible time you will get incredibly tasty and fragrant cabbage rolls that will not leave anyone indifferent from your family members.
