Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken

Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken

We have already prepared a traditional version of cabbage rolls with minced meat. But you can also cook them with minced chicken. This is a dietary version of production. If you are on a diet, or simply want to “unload”, give your body a break, then this recipe is just for you.

Although it can also be varied, or you can make the dish completely dietary, in other words, do not use oil, and before creating minced chicken, remove all the skin from the chicken carcass. Or fry it in oil and leave the skin if you like it thicker. And in both versions, the dish will taste even leaner than when we cook it with minced meat.

Therefore, we need to take this into account when we cook. The fact is that in order to be full, a man needs to eat one or two more of these “dubies” than meat ones. Therefore, do it with reserves. From the amount of ingredients that I give, you will get 10-12 pieces, depending on the size of the cabbage leaf and how big you get them.

I would not recommend making cabbage rolls very large and thick. Length 7-8 cm - will be just what you need. This size will allow them to cook moderately and be easy to eat. At the moment, it’s the beginning of summer, and the cabbage is being sold young and juicy. The forks are no longer small, but medium in size. This is exactly what our products of the right size will be made from.

How to properly wrap products, and what methods there are for this, as well as how to prepare leaves for them - I will also tell you in this article.

Recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken

• cabbage - 1 medium fork
• minced chicken – 400 gr
• rice - 2/3 cup
• onion - 2 pcs
• carrots - 1 piece (medium)
• tomato -1 pcs (Or tomato paste)
• bell pepper - 1 piece
• egg - 0.5 pcs
• vegetable oil - 3-4 tbsp. spoons
• spices - for chicken
• salt, ground dark pepper - to taste
• reddish capsicum
• bay leaf - 1 pc.
• greens - for sprinkling
• sour cream - for the finished dish

1. To prepare a dish, first of all you need to choose the right cabbage forks. If you have the opportunity to go through and touch the forks being sold yourself, then this will be very excellent. You can choose what you need. Choose a flexible fork. If it is very hard, it will be difficult to remove the leaves from it. And with a flexible one, you just pry the leaf, it comes off easily and does not tear.

If you buy cabbage from behind the counter, then simply ask the merchant to select cabbage of suitable hardness for you. Tell him what you are going to cook, he will give you what you need.

2. Pour half a large pot of water and let it boil. Carefully, so as not to burn your hands, lower the fork, stem side down, into boiling water. Cook the cabbage for about 7 minutes, then turn it over using a slotted spoon or a spoon with a long handle. Do this carefully, don't rush. Cook for another 5 minutes.

It happens that the stalk is cut out in advance. In this form, it will quickly become softer inside. If you like this method, use it.

3. We take the cabbage out onto a huge dish. Let's give it a chance to cool down. We do not throw away the water in which it was boiled. We will continue to use the purchased cabbage broth.

4. While the cabbage is cooling, grind the chicken in a meat grinder. Either remove the skin from the carcass or remove it partially - decide for yourself. You can naturally use ready-made minced meat. But still, if you have time, it is better to create it without the help of others. Then you will literally know what kind of meat it is made from.

5. Cut the onion into very small cubes. Someone also grinds onions in a meat grinder. I like to cut onions, in this case the minced meat does not separate, does not become watery, but remains a suitable mixture.

6. We take short-grain rice, the kind that sticks together perfectly. I use the Krasnodar variety. Usually rice is boiled until half cooked. It is believed that unboiled rice draws out all the juice from the meat, and the inside comes out dry. I don’t boil rice, and the inside doesn’t come out dry. But if we have long grain rice, it is naturally better to boil it. But not really, otherwise the inside will become mushy during the cooking process.

7. And so, all the ingredients for the minced meat are ready. Let's connect them. Salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken spices and dried herbs. Break the egg into a separate bowl and beat it with a fork. And pour half into the minced meat. A whole egg will be a lot. The minced chicken is very tender, soft, and if you add a whole egg, it will be watery.

The egg must be added so that the minced meat is not dry. Spices - for smell. Mix the minced meat and leave it covered with a napkin or lid for 10-15 minutes so that it sits and absorbs the juice.

8. During this period of time the cabbage has cooled down and we can start removing the leaves from it. We cut them at the very base, next to the stalk. And carefully remove it. Then we cut off the rough thickening on top. Stack the leaves on top of each other.

9. When everything is ready, we begin to create cabbage rolls. Lay out the cabbage leaf, cut side towards you. Place a heaping tablespoon of minced meat at the base. There is no need to save the filling. We make cabbage rolls, not boiled cabbage leaves. We make one turn, then we bend one edge and the other into an “envelope”, and roll up the workpiece. We do everything one by one and put it on a plate. Below will be a video with other wrapping methods.

10. If you cook cabbage rolls in a cauldron or thick-walled pan, then you can fry them directly in it. If you cook in a separate pan, then fry it in the pan, and later transfer it to the pan.

11. Peel the carrots and grate them. I use a Korean carrot grater for this.

12. Heat the oil and lightly fry the carrots in it. Somewhere 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomato, from which you have previously removed the skin. To do this, pour boiling water over it and keep it in it for 30 seconds, turning it over. Or you can add tomato paste. I have homemade pasta in stock. I add 5 tablespoons of it. 2 spoons will be enough for store-bought. It is very concentrated, and just enough to add flavor and color. Fry the carrots and paste for 3-4 minutes.

13. Add a little water in which the cabbage was boiled, in other words, a decoction. And place the pieces tightly enough one to one so that they do not open during cooking. Pour in cabbage broth.

If you like finished products in broth, then you need to add it so that the broth not only covers them all, but is also 5 cm higher. If you want to cook them without broth, then pour in the cabbage broth so that the top layer is only slightly covered .

During the cooking process, the water will boil away, and in the first option, it remains in a suitable quantity. And in the 2nd - it will boil away by half, and you will serve on a flat plate.

14. Cut the bell pepper into large slices and place on top. It will give a delicious smell to our dish. Also put a piece of hot capsicum on top. If you don’t like it spicy, then still add at least a very small particle.

15. Bring to a boil, add salt. Cover with a lid, reduce heat, and cook for 40-50 minutes. I determine readiness by the readiness of the cabbage. If it is ready, then the inside is ready.

16. 5-7 minutes before readiness, pepper and add bay leaf. To cover with a lid. Then turn it off and do not open the lid for 10-15 minutes. During this period of time, the finished dish will rest and infuse.

17. Serve with sour cream, or if cooked with broth, then with it. Or both.

How to wrap cabbage rolls

There are several methods for wrapping cabbage rolls. We usually use the most popular of them - envelope wrapping. But you can wrap them differently. For clarity, I suggest watching a video on this topic.

How to cook cabbage in the microwave

We boiled the cabbage and separated the leaves from it using the “old as time” method. And nowadays, virtually everyone in the house has a microwave. And you can cook cabbage leaves for our dish in it. It's quite simple to create.

First you need to create notches around the stalk. This is necessary so that the leaves can be removed perfectly. Place cabbage forks in the microwave for 7-8 minutes. The power must be full.

We take out the cabbage and place it under running cool water.

We remove those leaves that are easily removed. Then we repeat everything.

It may be the same in terms of time, but maybe someone will find this method the most exciting.

Now we know how to cook cabbage leaves and how to wrap cabbage rolls. And most importantly, we know how to cook them. All that remains is to prepare and test. Although there was one more ingredient left, about which nothing was said. This is probably the most important component of any dish. Yes, yes...You're right! This is not a bad mood and the kindest thoughts. Now everything...

Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken

Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken

Ingredients

Manufacturing stages

Grind the chicken fillet in a meat grinder along with the onion. Salt the minced meat and pepper.

Cut the carrots into small cubes or grate them, fry lightly with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix rice, fried carrots and add to minced meat. Pour in the tomato (you can dilute tomato paste with a small amount of water) and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix the minced meat thoroughly.

Use a sharp knife to cut out the stalk of a whole cabbage fork. Place the cabbage in a large saucepan and add enough water to barely cover the fork. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove the forks, cool, remove the top leaves (they are already boiled), remove the others and boil in the same water for about 5-7 minutes. If the cabbage is not very tight and the leaves can be removed from fresh cabbage without any problems, just remove them carefully and boil in salted water for 5-7 minutes. Cool and remove thickenings. Place a spoonful of minced meat on a cabbage leaf.

Fold the leaves with the minced meat into an envelope.

Place all the cabbage rolls in a baking dish.

Prepare the filling: fry chopped onion and grated carrots in vegetable oil. Pour in the tomato. Salt, add seasonings, pepper. Simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes.

Pour broth (salted) into the form with cabbage rolls, pour the filling on top moderately, sprinkle with chopped garlic.

Place the form with cabbage rolls, covering with foil, in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Cook for 35-40 minutes. Then take out the cabbage rolls, remove the foil and pour sour cream on top (if the sour cream is thick, dilute slightly with broth). Return the pan to the oven without foil for another 20-25 minutes.

Serve the most delicious and tender cabbage rolls with minced chicken hot, sprinkled with herbs.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

If for any reason the consumption of all fats is prohibited for you, then I dare to assure you that you can still try your favorite dishes if you prepare them according to certain rules.

Chicken breast is the leanest part of the chicken; here it is used as stuffing for cabbage rolls. Instead of rice, you can take all kinds of cereals, I use wheat. And to give the cabbage rolls the most intense taste, I advise you to add aromatic spices or a bouillon cube from a manufacturer you trust to the minced meat and sauce.

My composition of spices: coriander, suneli hops, dry tomato, spices for meat... And you take everything according to your own taste.

We won’t fry anything, we are serving a dietary dish, without a drop of oil.

So, to make dietary chicken cabbage rolls, let’s take the following set of products.

Make minced meat from chicken breast, one onion and a clove of garlic.

Add washed wheat grits, some spices, salt and stir.

Chop the second onion and grate the carrots on a large grater.

Add half the grated carrots to the minced chicken and stir well.

Prepare the cabbage leaves using your preferred method. To do this, cut the stalk in a circle and lower the cabbage forks into boiling water. As the cabbage softens, remove the soft leaves and place on a plate. You can also keep the cabbage in the microwave until softened. Thickenings on the leaves must be cut off with a knife.

Pour a glass of boiling water into the pan and add the cooked onions and carrots. Simmer for 5 minutes. Then add spices and tomato paste, salt. If the tomato paste is sour, add a little sugar. Instead of tomato paste, I use crushed tomatoes and sweet peppers. Simmer the sauce for a few more minutes.

Place a portion of minced meat on the cooled cabbage leaves and form cabbage rolls.

Place the cabbage rolls in the pan with the sauce. If necessary, add more boiling water. Add salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the cabbage is soft. Time, of course, is relative and depends on the type of cabbage.

Diet chicken cabbage rolls are ready. They can be sprinkled with herbs and served with sour cream or just broth.
