Step 1

Remove the core from a large head of cabbage and blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water until they are soft and pliable.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together ground beef, rice, grated onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the filling.

Step 3

Take one cabbage leaf and place a small amount of filling in the center. Roll the cabbage leaf around the filling, tucking in the sides to form a tight bundle.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling. In a large pot, layer the cabbage rolls in one layer and cover with a mixture of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and water.

Step 5

Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and cook the cabbage rolls on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the cabbage rolls are cooked through and tender.

Step 6
