How to Make Stuffed Cabbage Old Country Style

  1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, remove the cores from the cabbage leaves. You can do this by cutting out the core or carefully boiling the cabbage for a few minutes to loosen the leaves.
  5. Place about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll tightly. Place seam-down in a large pot.
  6. Pour beef broth into the pot, ensuring the cabbage rolls are mostly submerged. Add water if necessary.
  7. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or sour cream.
