Description

Traditionally made with minced meat. It's delicious, but when you have good quality meat, it's not necessary to stuff the cabbage leaf with ground meat; you can use a whole piece instead.

Ingredients

Lamb Neck Fillet - 31.7 oz
Banana Leaves - 8 pieces
Bacon - 6 pieces
Celery stalk - 1 stalk
Carrot - 1 piece
Onion - 1 head
Tomatoes - 7.1 oz
Sherry - 1 fl oz
Campbell's Beef Broth - 17 fl oz
Salt - to taste
Vegetable Oil - 0 fl oz
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In boiling salted water, blanch the cabbage leaves for ten minutes, then roll them out with a rolling pin or pound them with the bottom of a frying pan to a thickness of 1 mm.

Step 2

Cut the beef into pieces measuring 10 cm long and 3–4 cm wide. Wrap the meat in thin slices of bacon and fry in oil until golden brown on all sides. Season with pepper and wrap in cabbage leaves. Sear the stuffed cabbage rolls on all sides in the remaining beef fat. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the small cubes of onion, carrot, and celery until golden brown. Pour in the sherry and allow it to evaporate.

Step 4

Add the broth, diced tomatoes, and then the cabbage rolls on top. Season with salt and pepper, cover the skillet with foil, make a few holes in it, and place it in the oven preheated to 356°F for twenty minutes.

Step 5

Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls on a plate. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth (for a nicer presentation, you can strain it) and drizzle it over the cabbage rolls.
