It all started with the fact that I was going to do cabbage rolls, and the eldest son brought from the garden a big head of cabbage with very large as burdock leaves. Make him stuffed cabbage just did not make sense to cut, to shred the beautiful leaves. And then I had the idea for this loaf. Don't know how anyone, but I never get it nicely remove the leaves from the head. They break, crack. They say it is better to use a flattened cabbage (Brunswick), but I've only been once. I do not know who "undresses" the cabbage, but I have to do is cut the cabbage head, take a large pot, boil the water and lowered her head. Periodically turn it after 3 minutes, pull out, remove the top sheets, it is important not to digest, then the procedure is repeated. This time it took me 4 times to send the cabbage in boiling water to completely "undress" her. If you have microwave, you can use another way, although I honestly have not tried. Cabbage placed in the bowl, the bowl in the microwave for a lot of power for 5 minutes. Pull out the cabbage and immediately run cold water over, say, the upper leaves themselves bounce. Then the procedure is repeated. Here we have a sheet ready.

Next, make the stuffing. I took the mixed meat (pork, beef). Boiled rice, this time a mixture of brown and wild (as wanted).

Then the stuffing added chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper mixture. In General, do regular stuffing for stuffed cabbage. Then each hostess their secrets. You can add sauteed mushrooms, melkorublenoy cabbage, Bulgarian pepper, greens, etc.

Take a round shape. I for the purpose of frying pan with detachable handle. Daubed it with vegetable oil. And in the middle put a glass look, choose this, not to burst. I took the simple ceramic goblet - the memory of the canteen of the military unit where he served.

Our next, stack the cabbage leaves so that the edges climbed over the side of the pan and at the same time lay on the glass. I put two layers to make it juicier. It took me 10 leaves.

On sheets spread the stuffing.

For stuffing I have put sliced tomatoes for juiciness.

Then nicely cover the meat drooping leaves, and on top of those that lay on the glass.

Make your favorite sauce. I took the ketchup and sour cream. You can do one one sour cream or ketchup. You can mix sour cream with mustard. Each family, again, their sauces.

Spread the sauce on top roll.

And put into the oven heated to 200 degrees for 1 hour.

Take out the loaf.

Take out the glass (glass). Allow to cool a little. I was served directly in the pan on the table. If feeding guests, of course, it is better to put on the dish, but it's not easy, I got a very big loaf. Decorate with slices of meatloaf with greens.
