How to cook cabbage rolls? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wash vegetables well (root vegetables - with a brush), clean them, wash them again and dry them.

Rinse the rice thoroughly, draining the water several times. Pour half a liter of water into a saucepan, bring to the boil, salt and lay out the fig. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes. During this time, it will boil only half. It is this degree of boiling that is needed so that rice can absorb all the juices from the filling. Stir and roll the rice back onto a sieve. Leave to cool.

Wash the turkey fillet. Choose turkey meat carefully so that it is fresh or chilled. Pay attention to the color of the meat, high-quality has a pink or reddish tint. Consider that hip fillet is the juiciest part of turkey. The taste and juiciness of the cabbage rolls will depend on this. Cut into cubes and pass through a meat grinder.

Peel the onions from husks, wash. Finely cut so that it does not feel much in the finished dish.

Grate the peeled carrots on medium grater.

Transfer the onions and carrots to a frying pan, pour over the butter and simmer for 5 minutes.

Transfer the cooled rice and roast to a deep bowl, add the minced meat here. Salt, sprinkle with black pepper. I advise you to use a mill, so pepper will give the maximum aroma. Stir the filling and let it stand a little so that all the ingredients soak in each other.

At this time, engage in the preparation of cabbage sheets. There are several ways, I want to offer the fastest and safest. To do this, place the cabbage shake in the microwave. I advise you to take cabbage young, then the cabbage rolls will turn out to be more tender.

Turn on the microwave at maximum power for 5-6 minutes. Remove the cabbage and start separating the leaves. With a sharp knife, cut at the base of the stinger and gently pull the sheet.

And so, in turn, everyone else. If this is difficult to do with each layer, place the cabbage again in the microwave.

Cut the hard base from the sheet and put it on the work surface.

Put two tablespoons of filling in the middle. Filling may need more or less, look at the size of the sheet.

Wrap the edges of the cabbage leaf inside and fold with an envelope.

Take turns to fill all the cabbage sheets. Fold the prepared cabbage rolls into a saucepan. I recommend using a pan with a thick bottom so that the bottom cabbage rolls do not burn. I will extinguish the cabbage rolls in Kazan.

Make the sauce-mix the tomato paste, water and salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork until smooth.

Pour over the cabbage rolls with the sauce. Place the pan on a slow heat and simmer for 50-60 minutes.

Put the cabbage rolls on a plate hot. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, serve with sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
