How to make delicious cabbage rolls with sour cream in a saucepan? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. I cook in a saucepan, but this dish can be made in Kazan on the stove and even baked in the oven. Minced meat can be taken ready-made shop.

Wash the cabbage head, remove the spoiled upper leaves. You can cut the poker immediately or leave it as you are more comfortable. In a large saucepan, boil the water. Lay out a whole head. Cook until the leaves start to separate freely. Carefully disassemble the cabbage into individual leaves. Try to remove as many leaves as possible.

Now prepare the filling for the cabbage rolls. Cut the chicken and pork into pieces and pass through a meat grinder or grind in a blender.

Rinse the rice to clean water, and boil in a large amount of boiling salted water until cooked or semi-cooked. The main thing is that the rice turns out to be crumbly. Tip the rice into a colander and let drain all the water.

Peel and cut the onions into small cubes.

In a bowl, combine pork and chicken mince, rice, onion, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth. If you wish, you can add your spices to taste.

In the removed leaves, cut the thickening at the bottom. Place a little filling on the edge of each cabbage leaf and roll the sheet with a converter, bending the edges. Similarly, form all other cabbage rolls.

Now prepare the ingredients for sour cream pouring. Sour cream can take any fat content.

Pour water or broth into the sour cream, pour in the salt and pepper and mix until smooth.

Cut the onion into small cubes.

Peel and grate the carrots.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Stirring, fry the onions with the carrots for 5-7 minutes until soft.

Put all the cabbage rolls in a deep saucepan. Spread the fried carrots with the onions on top.

Fill everything with sour cream mixture. Add a bay leaf.

Simmer the cabbage rolls over a medium heat under a lid for about 1 hour until cooked through. If the broth boils too much, reduce the heat to an acceptable one and simmer the cabbage rolls for a little longer.

Arrange the finished cabbage rolls on plates, sprinkle with crushed herbs and serve with sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
