Instructions
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Start by removing the outer leaves from the cabbage and cutting out the core. Boil a large pot of water and blanch the cabbage leaves for about 2-3 minutes, until they are soft and pliable.
In a separate pan, cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
In another pan, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the cooked rice, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
To assemble the cabbage rolls, take a blanched cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the beef and rice mixture in the center. Roll up the leaf, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a neat and compact roll. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
Place the rolls seam-side down in a large baking dish and pour any remaining tomato sauce over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.
And there you have it! A delicious and nutritious meal that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. The combination of tender cabbage, flavorful beef and rice, and tangy tomato sauce creates a satisfying meal that is both hearty and healthy.
