How to Make Cabbage Rolls With Walnuts

Rinse 1 medium-sized green cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Blanch leaves in boiling water for 2 minutes to soften, then rinse with cold water.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice to the skillet and fry with the onions for 2 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of water to prevent sticking and cook until rice is slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of ground paprika and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Mix thoroughly.
Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the filling onto the base of each cabbage leaf. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides and ends.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, layer the cabbage rolls.
In a separate saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of oil until smooth.
Cook the flour mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of paprika and 4 cups of vegetable broth or water. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are tender and the rice is cooked through.
