Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat cabbage leaves in boiling water for a few minutes until they are soft enough to roll, or microwave 4 or 5 leaves at a time for about 1 1/2 minutes to soften.
- Mix together ground beef, rice, egg, and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a small amount of the beef mixture on a cabbage leaf, then roll up and seal the ends with a round toothpick.
- Repeat until all the rice mixture is used.
- Spread sauerkraut in the bottom of a small roaster or baking dish.
- Arrange the cabbage pillows on top of the sauerkraut.
- Pour canned tomato wedges over the cabbage pillows and sauerkraut.
- Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
- If the sauerkraut is very dry, add a little tomato juice as extra liquid before the final baking period.
