Core the cabbage and soften the whole head in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Separate the leaves and shave the thick veins thinner.
Mix the rice, minced beef, grated onion, crushed garlic, half the salt, and black pepper.
Place filling on the leaves and roll them tightly.
Make a sauce with the tomato puree, beef stock, olive oil, remaining salt, and thyme.
Arrange the rolls in a baking dish, pour the sauce over them, and cover.
Bake at 180°C for 65 minutes.
Rest for 10 minutes so the rolls absorb the sauce.
💡 Tip: Boil the cabbage whole and shave the thick veins thinner so the leaves roll without cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in a deep plate with tomato sauce, strained yogurt, and dill cucumber if desired.
