How to make perfect lazy cabbage rolls: no need to “take apart” cabbage leaves and wrap the filling in them

Many gourmets rarely cook cabbage rolls, even though they love this dish.

The reason is simple: preparing this dish is a very long, complicated and tedious process.

You have to “take apart” the cabbage, prepare the filling, and wrap it in cabbage leaves... This takes too much time and effort.

However, there is a “lazy” way to cook cabbage rolls.

This approach does not involve separating the leaves from the head of cabbage and the lengthy creation of “envelopes”.

It is enough to simply mix all the ingredients, form the resulting mass into "cutlets" and bake them. It turns out simple, fast and delicious.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova recalled an interesting version of the popular dish.

Lazy cabbage rolls recipe

First, finely chop half a kilo of white cabbage.

Then chop one onion. The pieces, again, should be very small.

Next you need to cook half a glass of rice.

Combine all the above ingredients in a deep container, add 450 grams of minced meat and one raw egg.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, form several “pucks” from the resulting mass and place them in a greased baking dish.

Next, put this dish in the oven. First, the lazy cabbage rolls should be baked for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Then the dish needs to be covered with sauce, which consists of tomato sauce and vegetables.

With this filling, the cabbage rolls should be cooked in the oven for another 30 minutes.
