STUFFED RED CABBAGE ROLLS

Stuffed Red Cabbage Rolls image

One of the many variations of stuffed cabbage, this is my own take on a "gourmet-style" red cabbage roll. Al dente rice adds texture to the overall meal, and cream of mushroom soup prevents the rice from drying out during the cooking process. Top with lemon sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups water
2 ½ cups uncooked brown and wild rice blend
12 leaves red cabbage, or as needed
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, 1/2 of the garlic, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside to rest.
At the same time, combine water and remaining minced garlic in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
While rice is cooking, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves in the boiling water until tender and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Shock leaves in cold water to prevent further cooking, and set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Add condensed soup to cooked rice. Mix in hamburger mixture.
Fill cabbage leaves with rice and hamburger mixture, wrapping around the filling to secure. Place each cabbage roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and top with sauerkraut.
Bake in the preheated oven until cabbage leaves are slightly wilted, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
