Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Blanch the 8 cabbage leaves in boiling water until pliable, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

    In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, 2 tbsp dill, and 1 tsp salt until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Place a scoop of filling on each leaf, fold in sides, and roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in a skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 2 cups tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the top.
