Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls packed with 5 delicious flavors to satisfy your hunger and brighten your meal moments

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of green cabbage (whole, for leaves)
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms (white or cremini)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup drained and diced canned tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (use a thick, plain variety)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (low sodium)

    • Instructions

  • Carefully core the cabbage and gently peel off about 12 large leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes each until pliable but not falling apart. Drain and pat dry.
  • Simmer rice in 1 1/2 cups water until water is absorbed and rice is tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and grated carrots; cook one more minute. Remove from heat and stir in cooked rice, diced tomatoes, parsley, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Lay one cabbage leaf flat, trim thick veins if needed so they roll easily. Place about 1/4 cup of filling at the base of the leaf. Roll it up, folding in the sides to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
  • Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a large pot or Dutch oven. Arrange cabbage rolls seam-side down snugly in layers.
  • Pour vegetable broth and remaining tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover the pot tightly.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Cook covered for 40 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the liquid hasn’t evaporated. Add a splash of water if needed.
  • Turn off the heat and let rolls rest in the covered pot for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors settle.
