👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water with beef stock cubes to a simmer. Gently loosen and separate the cabbage leaves, keeping them intact. Blanch the leaves in simmering water for 2-3 minutes until pliable. Drain and set aside to cool.

Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, sautéed onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper, allspice, and marjoram. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing.

Trim the thick stem from each blanched cabbage leaf. Lay a leaf flat, place 2-4 tablespoons of filling in the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a buttered ovenproof dish, packing them closely.

Mix the golden syrup with a splash of beef stock. Brush this mixture over the cabbage rolls. Pour the remaining beef stock gently around the rolls.
