Zakarpattia-Style Cabbage Rolls Recipe (Page 2 ) | April 30, 2025

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Carefully peel off the cabbage leaves one by one, blanch them in the boiling water for a couple of minutes until they become pliable, then set them aside to cool.
2. Make the Filling:

In a bowl, combine the ground pork, uncooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
3. Assemble the Cabbage Rolls:

Place a spoonful of the filling onto each cabbage leaf, then fold the sides in and roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito. Place the rolls seam side down in a large pot.
