Step-by-Step Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the whole cabbage and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften the leaves. Carefully remove softened leaves for stuffing.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, rice, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Place a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Add about 1/4 cup of filling to the center. Roll up tightly, tucking in sides, and place seam-side down. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Layer rolls in a baking dish, adding tomato sauce over each layer. Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 hours until tender and flavors meld.
