Ingredients

  • 2 medium heads of cabbage
  • 2 tbsp oil or lard
  • 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 500g (1lb) minced pork
  • 100g (3.5 oz) smoked bacon, finely chopped
  • 200g (7oz) rice
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 to 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 pinches ground caraway seed
  • 2.5-3 litres (10-12 cups) tomato juice or 500ml (2 cups) tomato puree

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
  2. While the water is heating up, peel the outer leaves of the cabbage and core the heads. Place the head core-side up in the boiling water. The cabbage is ready to remove when you can easily peel the leaves with a wooden spoon one by one.
  3. Remove cabbage from the water, and remove the hard ribs from the base of each cabbage leaf and cut the leaves lengthwise in half. Repeat for all cabbages.
  4. As the leaves cool down, we make the stuffing. Heat the oil
