Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut core from cabbage. Microwave head in a bowl covered with damp paper towel for 4 minutes until leaves soften.

  2. Step 2

    Brown ground pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in diced onion and cooked rice. Cook 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Peel softened cabbage leaves and lay flat. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons pork mixture onto each leaf, roll tightly, and tuck in sides.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Pour crushed tomatoes over top, sprinkle caraway if using, and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Cover with foil and simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes until sauce bubbles gently and rolls are heated through.
