Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 190C (375F) and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Put the meat, egg, panko crumbs, grated parmesan,1 clove of minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands mix everything together until thoroughly incorporated, set aside.
- If you haven’t already, peel the largest leaves from the cabbage being careful not to tear them. Blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes until softened (you’ll probably need to do this in batches or 2 or 3).
- Let them drain on kitchen paper then pat them as dry. Once dried, cut the large middle stalk from each leaf so you’re left with two halves (discard the stalk).
- Place 1 heaped tbsp of meat mixture on the widest part of the cabbage leaf then roll it up tucking in the sides then place in a baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the meat mixture and cabbage leaves. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, add ½ tbsp of olive oil to a small saucepan, add 1 clove of finely chopped garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the white wine and simmer to reduce by half.
- Add the chicken stock and tomato paste, whisk together then simmer for 5 minutes. Pour over the stuffed cabbage rolls, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, uncover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with freshly grated parmesan.
Notes
- You can swap the veal for ground beef instead
- Use the highest quality chicken stock (preferably homemade or pre-made store-bought sold in tubs). The sauce doesn't simmer for long so a great quality stock will add a ton of flavour.
- You can prep the whole dish (without adding the sauce) in advance and store in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
- Make sure to bake the stuffed cabbage rolls covered to avoid them burning or drying out.
- You can serve this dish simply as it is with some crusty bread or serve it with some creamy polenta or mashed potatoes for a hearty comfort food meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated in the oven until piping hot. If storing leftovers in the fridge I recommend removing them from the sauce and storing them in separate containers.
- Leftovers can also be frozen and defrosted as needed.
