Method

Blanch the cabbage in boiling water until tender, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the ground pork, onion, garlic, rice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Form into small rolls.
In a pan, sauté the mushrooms with butter until softened. Add the beef broth and simmer.
Place the cabbage leaves in a pot, then add the meat rolls on top. Pour the mushroom sauce over the top.
Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
Mix the sour cream with a little water to create a sauce. Serve the rolls with the sauce and garnish with parsley.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
