Stuffed cabbage rolls

Stuffed cabbage rolls are a very tasty dish that is popular under various names virtually all over the world. In the traditional version, it is minced meat or vegetables with the addition of rice, rolled into cabbage leaves. There are a lot of recipes for stuffed cabbage rolls in a slow cooker; they differ in their insides, sizes, and production methods.

What types of cabbage rolls are there?

Most often, cabbage rolls are made with minced meat: the consistency of pork and beef. Stuffed cabbage rolls made from turkey and with minced chicken are very tasty. In Ukraine, cabbage rolls with cracklings are often prepared. Adherents of a vegetarian diet will enjoy cabbage rolls with vegetable insides: potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini. There are recipes with virtually all vegetables! How delicious are Lenten cabbage rolls with mushrooms!

Instead of rice, you can put buckwheat or pearl barley in the filling. And in the Carpathians they really love cabbage rolls with corn grits.

You can wrap the filling in whole cabbage leaves or cut into pieces - this is how you get small cabbage rolls, which are often made in western Ukraine. They use not only white cabbage, but also Chinese cabbage; its leaves are the most tender, which makes production easier. There are even recipes with beet leaves. And in the Caucasus, dolma is very popular - a close “relative” of cabbage rolls, where the inside is wrapped in grape leaves.

Ordinary or lazy?

Making cabbage rolls is a rather labor-intensive process. What takes the most time is preparing the cabbage leaves and wrapping them in their insides. But you can really avoid the long and tedious work given to us if you cook lazy cabbage rolls in a slow cooker. The essence of these recipes is that the cabbage is simply finely chopped, mixed with the entrails and cutlets are formed from the resulting mass, which are prepared using the usual method: steamed or stewed.

Some housewives simplify the recipe for lazy cabbage rolls even more: they do not mold them into cutlets, but stew them or bake them in the form of a whole flat cake, which is divided into portions in a ready-made form. This does not affect the taste and usefulness in any way, however, such a dish does not look as beautiful as one prepared using the usual method.

Manufacturing methods

Stuffed cabbage rolls in a slow cooker can be prepared using various methods: baked, stewed, steamed. By the way, a multicooker allows you to combine two methods, preparing both stewed and steamed cabbage rolls at once. You just need to fill the bowl not to the very top, place a container for steaming over the stewing cabbage rolls, and place the remaining cabbage rolls in it.

Baked cabbage rolls turn out to be the most fragrant; with some tricks you can even achieve a golden crust. Steaming is the most necessary, dietary method of production, but often steamed cabbage rolls in a slow cooker come out a little bland. In general, this can be corrected by serving them with a suitable sauce, herbs, and seasoning with your favorite seasonings. Stewed cabbage rolls are the “golden mean”, they are both healthy and very tasty, and it is no coincidence that they are prepared this way most often.

How to cook cabbage rolls in a slow cooker

Let's take care of the cabbage: cut out the stalk.
You can separate the leaves using 2 methods: carefully untangle one leaf at a time and lower them into boiling water.
Or put the entire fork in a pan of bubbling water, blanch for 3-5 minutes, remove, and cool. The softened leaves are separated quite easily. Use a knife to cut off the hard part of the leaf.
Meanwhile, the rice is half cooked. We tip it into a colander.
Grate carrots and onions.
Fry them in a frying pan. In a bowl, mix minced meat, rice and fried vegetables. Salt and add spices.
Place a heaping tablespoon of innards on a cabbage leaf.
Wrap it carefully.
Place the cabbage rolls in the multicooker bowl. Now you need to cook the sauce.
Place butter and flour in a dry frying pan. While stirring, let the butter dissolve and the flour absorb the oil.
Then add tomato paste, sour cream, salt, and spices. Stir well and keep on low heat until thickened.
We put a little butter on the cabbage rolls for a gentle taste. Pour the sauce over them.
We set the multicooker mode (ours is redmond) to “Stewing”, set the time to 1 hour. At the end of the process, it is better not to open the lid immediately - the dish should sit for another half hour.
Place the finished cabbage rolls on plates.

Serve with sour cream, sprinkled with chopped herbs on top. Cabbage rolls stewed in a slow cooker turn out to be very soft, fragrant, and filling. A slow, home-cooked meal that's perfect for the weekend.

Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice in a slow cooker in tomato sauce

What we will need:

cabbage - 1 fork;
minced meat – 500 g;
rice – 0.3 cups;
onions – 2 pcs.;
carrots – 2 pcs.;
tomato sauce – 2 tbsp;
vegetable oil – 2 tbsp;
salt, spices - to taste.

How to stew cabbage rolls in a slow cooker

First we prepare the cabbage - rinse it under running water and remove the damaged top leaves. We cut out the stalk and the space around it so as to free the leaves. Then carefully remove as many leaves as possible and lower them into boiling water for 3-4 minutes. After this, carefully remove with a slotted spoon and cool. If the fork is very tight and the leaves cannot be removed without damage, then immerse the fork itself in boiling water for 5-7 minutes - the softened leaves should come off easily. We do not keep the cabbage in water for a long time; the leaves should retain their elasticity, although they will become more elastic.
While the leaves are cooling, prepare the rice. We wash it and fill it with boiling water. Leave to steam under the closed lid for 15 minutes. After this, drain the water.
Peel and chop the vegetables - cut the onion into cubes, grate the carrots.
In the thicket of the multicooker - we cook in Panasonic - add vegetable oil and cooked vegetables. We set the “Frying” mode, cooking time – 7-8 minutes. Fry the vegetables with the lid open, stirring occasionally so as not to burn.
Remove half of the fried vegetables, and add tomato sauce or paste to the rest and fry for almost 1-2 minutes.
Mix minced meat, rice and half of the roasted vegetables. Add salt, spices to taste and mix everything well.
When the cabbage leaves have cooled, cut them off at their seal at the junction with the stalk. Spread the meat filling (approximately 2-2.5 tbsp - depending on the size of the sheet).
We bend the side edges, and roll the sheet itself into a roll from the inside. We form other cabbage rolls in the same way.
Move the onions and carrots in tomato sauce aside or remove them from the multicooker bowl. We place the prepared cabbage rolls in their space. If there are two or three rows, then place part of the roast between them.
Distribute the remaining frying on top of the cabbage rolls. Pour in hot boiled water so that it barely covers the top cabbage rolls. If there is a lot of water, the cabbage rolls will float out and some of them may turn around. Immediately add a little salt and spices to taste.
Turn on the “Stew” mode, cooking time – 1 hour. If the cabbage is young, then the cooking time can be reduced to 45-50 minutes. During this period of time, we do not open the lid of the multicooker so as not to release the accumulated steam.

Serve the cabbage rolls right away, still hot, cooled slightly with sour cream, and generously sprinkled with fresh herbs.

Number of servings – 6.

Production time – 1.5 hours.

How to steam cabbage rolls in a slow cooker

To separate the cabbage leaves, first place the cabbage fork in a pan of bubbling water for 2-3 minutes. After separating, let the petals cool completely.
Next, cut the beef into small slices (you can also use other types of meat, for example, chicken) and pass it through a meat grinder together with pieces of onion (1 small head).
Then rinse the rice in running water and boil it until fully cooked (20 minutes) in salted water. Let the cereal cool as well.
Wash and peel the carrots and onions. Cut the onion into small cubes and grate the carrots on a large grater.
Mix the prepared minced meat and vegetables in a deep plate. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the mixture thoroughly with clean hands until the mixture is homogeneous.
Place a tablespoon of meat innards in the middle of the boiled sheet and wrap it into a package.
Pour 300-400 ml of water into the multicooker bowl, and place a special form on top for making steamed dishes (rack). Place the cabbage rolls in this form, seam side down. Set the “Steam/Cook” function for 40 minutes.

A sound signal when the multicooker has finished working indicates that the diet dinner is ready. Serve soft and fragrant cabbage rolls with fresh herbs, sour cream or your favorite sauce. All the best for you!
