I made lazy cabbage rolls for dinner. For minced meat, I took pork and ground the meat along with onions in a blender. I combined the minced meat with boiled rice and blanched cabbage. Beat an egg into the minced meat and add salt. I formed small cabbage rolls and fried them in vegetable oil on both sides. Stewed lazy cabbage rolls in the oven in sour cream sauce. The cabbage rolls were stewed until soft, they became tender, juicy, and tasty. The sauce turned out thick, enveloping, with a slight sourness and delicate sweetness of carrots. Thank you very much for the recipe!
