Cooking

Prepare cabbage leaves: Cut the cabbage stalk. Place the forks in the food package and place in microwave (800 watts) for 15 minutes. To get out of the package and place under running cold water - cabbage leaves will open like a flower. If the leaves are solid, put them back in the bag and float for another 2-3 minutes.

Cut with leaf thickening and cut them in half if leaves are large. I fold the paper in half and cut thickening at an angle, the result is triangles, which is very convenient to wrap. Yourself thickening I not thrown away, but shrouded them under the cabbage rolls in the baking dish. PS the Cabbage rolls I made small, literally 1-2 bites, if you cook larger, then adjust the size of the cabbage leaf.

Filling: Mix minced meat with rice, grated onion, garlic skip through the press, finely chopped bacon, parsley, grated carrots, add salt and pepper, yogurt (for moist stuffing). I was left with a mushroom pate (fried mushrooms with onions and punched in the blender) I added it in the stuffing and have not regretted.

Add the tomato paste and tomato peeled and grated on a coarse grater. Simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add the chilli, oregano and Basil. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.

Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls. Shape tightly close foil and place in pre-heated to 190 degrees C oven for one hour. Be guided by your oven!
