Stuffed Cabbage Cake - Proud Italian Cook

Now that you’ve gotten a glimpse of this gourmet masterpiece, let’s go over what you’ll need to whip this magic up:

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage
  • 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey for the health-conscious)
  • 1 cup of cooked rice (brown for the health nuts)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces, you know, to make it saucy!)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if you’re feeling fancy)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (because cheese is life)

Instructions:

  1. First things first, let’s give that cabbage head a nice bath by boiling it in a large pot of water. Cook it until the outer leaves start to soften, then peel off the layers. You’re going to need about 12 leaves for stuffing, so be prepared to work a little magic!
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together your ground beef (or turkey), cooked rice, chopped onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and season it all up with salt, pepper, and thyme. Get in there and use your hands, it’s the best way to really mix it all together!
  3. Now for the fun part! Take a cabbage leaf, lay it flat, and spoon a generous portion of your filling onto the middle. Roll it up like a burrito, tucking in the sides, and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until you run out of leaves or filling—whichever comes first!
  4. Pour any remaining diced tomatoes over the top and cover your dish with aluminum foil. Bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about an hour.
  5. In the last 15 minutes of baking, uncover the dish and sprinkle the glorious mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Now, if that doesn’t sound like comfort food, I don’t know what does!

Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Slice it up and watch everyone’s faces light up. You have just turned cabbage into a star—who knew the humble veggie had such potential? Enjoy your culinary creation!
