Ingredients

8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 teaspoons potato starch
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large heads cabbage, cored

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking pan.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer onion to a large mixing bowl and add beef, cooked rice, cream, egg, parsley, potato starch, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, caraway seeds, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix to combine in an even consistency and refrigerate filling until needed.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Place 1 head of cabbage in the boiling water and parboil until bright green and leaves are softened, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove cabbage with tongs or a large fork. Repeat with remaining head of cabbage. Allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove outer leaves from the cooled cabbage. Lay 1 leaf flat on a work surface and cut out the stem. Spoon a generous 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the leaf. Fold the corners at the stem end diagonally over the filling, fold the sides over, and roll up like a tiny burrito. Place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat to make remaining cabbage rolls until filling is used up.
  • Add water to the baking pan until it is halfway up the sides of the cabbage rolls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until beef is cooked through and no longer pink, about 40 minutes.
