Baked Cabbage Rolls are a savory, low carb classic that everyone loves. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut ¼" off the bottom of a head of cabbage and place the cabbage into boiling water. Simmer 2 minutes and then remove the softened leaves.
That’s the question that so many of my friends and family ask. These tasty Croatian cabbage rolls are known as Sarma and are a must-try food all over the Balkans. Back in Sydney, the king of Croatian Sarma in our family is Tetak Zeljko (uncle), and he is absolutely famous for his Sarma recipe.
Unstuffed Cabbage rolls is a ground beef, cabbage and rice recipe that is traditionally made in one skillet or pot. It is made by skipping the cabbage stuffing and baking part of stuffed cabbage rolls and instead is made on the stove top and without needing to roll the ground beef and rice in cabbage.
If the spines of the cabbage leaves are still too tough, remove them with a paring knife. Scoop some hamburger mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf. Gently roll up, being careful to tuck in the ends, and place each roll, seam side down in the casserole dish.
