Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Remove the core from the cabbage using a sharp knife.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 3
Carefully submerge the whole cabbage in the boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the outer leaves soften enough to be easily peeled off.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use tongs to help remove the outer leaves as they soften.
- 4
Peel off the softened cabbage leaves one by one and set them aside to cool.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Trim the thick central vein from each leaf to make them easier to roll.
- 5
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, chopped onion, dill, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper for the filling.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Mix gently with your hands until just combined to avoid compacting the meat.
- 6
Take a cabbage leaf, place a spoonful of filling near the stem end, fold in the sides, and then roll it up tightly.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: The amount of filling will depend on the size of the cabbage leaf. Aim for about 2-3 tablespoons per roll.
- 7
Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
Nota bucătarului: If you have extra cabbage leaves, you can line the bottom of your pot with them to prevent sticking.
- 8
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 9
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 10
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 11
Arrange the cabbage rolls snugly in layers in the pot.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The rolls should be mostly submerged in the liquid. Add more broth or water if needed.
- 12
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 13
Cook for 1.5 hours, or until the cabbage is very tender and the filling is cooked through.
Aproximativ 1 oră 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Check periodically to ensure the liquid isn't drying out; add more broth or water if necessary.
- 14
Serve the lahanodolmades hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Nota bucătarului: A dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of extra fresh dill also makes a great accompaniment.
