Cabbage rolls.



Ingredients:
2 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 large cabidge
1 large onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of parsley, washed
1 bunch of cilantro, washed
1 cup of raw rice (any)
salt.


Makes about 20 - 22 rolls. Use wide and low pot.

1. In the food processor mix cilantro, parsley, garlic, onion and 1 cup of cold water.


2. Into the bowl add both minced meat and add mixed herbs from step 1. Mix with your hands.

2. Add washed raw rice, 1 table spoon of salt and mix well again.


4. Precut the cabbage around the step as it is on the picture and place it into the large pot. Add water to cover. Bring it to boil and cook it on low for 20 min. At the end of cooking you will see that cabbage leaves separate from the stem.


5. Wait until water culls down to room temperature and carefully remove cabbage from the water.


6. Separate the leaves from the stem. We only need leaves. Top part of the leaves is very thick. Cut it to make leaves even thickness.
