Cabbage Rolls with Pork and Rice in Tomato Sauce

Method

1. Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften.
2. In a bowl, mix ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, garlic, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.
3. Place a handful of the mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
4. In a large pot, heat oil, add the rolled cabbage, and pour in tomato sauce.
5. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5-2 hours until the cabbage is tender.
6. Serve warm, optionally with a side of polenta or bread.
7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
