Stuffed cabbage rolls from young cabbage in a slow cooker in sour cream sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the products.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the rice in several waters until the drained water is clear. Boil until half cooked.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the cabbage. Boil water in a saucepan, salt it a little and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar so that the cabbage leaves do not tear. Vinegar gives strength. Cut the stalk out of the cabbage, put it in boiling water (make the heat low so that it just simmers), and remove the leaves as much as possible. The cabbage is young, the leaves need 2-3 minutes, do not overcook them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the scalded leaves on a plate; they are still steaming.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then use a knife to carefully cut off the seals on the leaves. We do this with all the leaves.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now the minced meat. Cut one onion into cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Three carrots on a medium grater.

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan and lightly sauté the onions and carrots.

9. STEP 9

   

   In a bowl, combine minced meat, rice, carrots and onions. Salt and pepper to taste. Add your favorite spices. Mix the minced meat very well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place a couple of spoons of minced meat on the cabbage leaf.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll it up like a tube...

12. STEP 12

    

    Then, using our fingers, we “push each edge inside”)) I really love this molding of darlings. They are rolled up very tightly and then look neat on the plate.

13. STEP 13

    

    In the same way, we roll up all the leaves and place the cabbage rolls tightly in the multicooker bowl.

14. STEP 14

    

    And now a little trick))) We put pieces of butter on the cabbage rolls, this will make them even juicier, and you need to put the bowl of cabbage rolls in the cold (in the refrigerator) for an hour.

15. STEP 15

    

    In an hour, let's make the sauce - cut the onion into cubes and fry in vegetable oil.

16. STEP 16

    

    Add tomato paste and sour cream there. Stir and simmer for a couple of minutes.

17. STEP 17

    

    Using a spoon, spread our sauce over the cabbage rolls)) Season with salt and pepper to taste. BUT don't forget - our minced meat was seasoned. Add your favorite spices - herbs)

18. STEP 18

    

    Pour boiling water over everything so that the water covers about 2 centimeters. Place the bowl in the multicooker, close it and turn on the “stew” program for 1.5-2 hours. I set it for 2 hours, they turned out very juicy and mega-soft)) At the end of the “stewing” program, I advise you to keep them on the “warm” mode for at least 30 minutes without opening the lid.

19. STEP 19

    

    And here are the finished darlings) The aroma is amazing!

20. STEP 20

    

    Eat hot with sour cream))

21. STEP 21

    

    They are very soft, you can easily divide them into several pieces with a fork) Bon appetit!

Angel, you really teased me!!! I posted such a delicious treat! <br />How appetizing and tasty they are! I also cut the veins from the cabbage and the cabbage rolls become more tender. Thank you for the recipe for your favorite cabbage rolls, but now in a slow cooker! <br /><br />
