How to make cabbage rolls in a slow cooker in tomato sauce? Prepare all the ingredients listed in the recipe. My mince is pork, but pork and beef or chicken will do. Defrost the meat on the bottom shelf of the fridge beforehand, cut into medium pieces and twist through a meat grinder.

Peel the carrots, wash, dry with paper napkins. Grate over a coarse grater.

Peel the onions as well, rinse with cool water and cut into small cubes.

In a frying pan, heat the refined olive or sunflower vegetable oil. Place the chopped onions first and fry them over a low heat until transparent. Add the grated carrots and continue to fry, stirring, until soft.

Rinse the rice several times until the water is clear. Boil in boiling salted water until cooked. Drain the finished rice into a colander and leave to cool.

In a suitable container, mix the minced meat, roasted and boiled rice. Salt, pepper, add the dry spices to taste and mix well. I also added shredded fresh dill.

In the head of cabbage, cut the middle with a knife.

Send the kale to boiling slightly salted water. Cook over a moderate heat, gradually removing (every 2-3 minutes) the upper soft leaves. If your cabbage is young, it cooks faster, so make sure not to digest.

Transfer the finished cabbage leaves to a colander and leave to cool. Then, on each leaflet, cut all thickenings with a knife.

Put about 1. 5 tablespoons of minced meat on the middle of the prepared cabbage sheet.

Roll the cabbage rolls with a converter, turning the edges of the cabbage on the sides.

Brush the bowl of the slow cooker with vegetable oil. Transfer the first batch of blanks into it, turn on the Frying mode and fry on both sides until golden brown. Then transfer to a dish and fry the second batch.

Prepare the fill. In a container, mix sour cream, tomato sauce, flour. Salt a little. You can replace the sauce with tomatoes in your own juice.

Pour in a glass of boiled filtered water and stir the sauce until combined.

Put the first layer of fried cabbage rolls in the bowl of the slow cooker. You can leave a little roasting and distribute it to each layer. Pour the cabbage rolls over the sauce.

Put all the other cabbage rolls in this way, sprinkling with roasting and pouring sauce over the top. At the end, I still sprinkled paprika, but this is not necessary. You can also add a finely chopped garlic clove. Put the bay leaf and a couple of peas of allspice and black pepper. I cooked cabbage rolls in Baking mode, but you can turn on Stewing. Prepare until the beep is heard.

Serve the finished cabbage rolls hot. Pour over the sauce and, if you like, extra sour cream before serving. Enjoy everyone's appetite!
