Ingredients | Recipes With Ground Pork And Cabbage1 medium head cabbage1 pound ground beef½ pound ground pork½ pound ground veal1 cup cooked rice½ cup chopped onion¼ cup minced fresh parsley1 large egg2 large cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground black pepper1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme, divided1 ½ teaspoons dried basil, divided1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, divided1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with tomato pureeDirectionsPlace cabbage, core-side down, in an 8- to 10-cup microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave on high until outer leaves are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.While the cabbage is cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Combine ground beef, pork, veal, rice, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, basil, and oregano; mix until well combined.Remove 12 outer leaves from the cooled cabbage and trim the thick stems to make them easier to roll.Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves and fold in the ends. Place rolls, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a casserole dish.Combine crushed tomatoes with remaining thyme, basil, and oregano and pour over cabbage rolls.Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.Use 2 pounds of ground meat in any combination.To soften the leaves, the cabbage can also be boiled. If boiled, don't discard the water--it's great for split pea soup.Info | Recipes With Ground Pork And Cabbageprep:
