Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cabbage
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 small garlic cloves, minced
- 3 small carrots, grated
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 small onion, diced (for sauce)
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare cabbage: Remove outer leaves from cabbage. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook cabbage for 5 minutes, or until leaves are softened. Remove leaves and set aside.
- Cook rice: Cook rice according to package directions. Let it cool completely.
- Make filling: Sauté diced onion in a skillet until golden brown. Add minced garlic and grated carrots, cooking for 5-6 minutes until softened. Let this cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, ground chicken, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix everything well.
- Stuff cabbage leaves: Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Brown rolls: Brown the stuffed cabbage rolls in a skillet over medium heat until slightly golden.
- Make sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until golden brown. Add the tomato sauce, salt, and water. Remove from heat and whisk in the heavy cream.
- Bake: Place the browned cabbage rolls in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the rolls, and sprinkle with fresh dill and black pepper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-45 minutes, or until heated through and cooked.
- Serve: Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.
Notes
- Make sure the cabbage leaves are pliable for easy rolling.
- Feel free to substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or beef if preferred.
