Prepare the Cabbage
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully blanch the cabbage leaves for 2–3 minutes until soft. Remove and pat dry. 🥬
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. 🍖✨
Assemble the Rolls
Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. 🌯
Prepare the Sauce
In a baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce and drizzle with olive oil. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down. Pour the beef broth over the rolls and top with the remaining tomato sauce. 🍅
Bake
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy these hearty rolls with crusty bread or a simple green salad. 🌿🍞
