Lazy cabbage rolls are a unique dish that cooks quickly and tastes like ordinary cabbage rolls.
We bring to your attention lazy cabbage rolls not with rice, but with lentils. It is she who gives this dish a new flavor note, as well as unusual aroma, juiciness and softness.
Ingredients:
- 0.6 kg of any minced meat;
- 0.3 kg of cabbage (white cabbage);
- 150 g lentils;
- 2 onions;
- 2 carrots;
- 3 eggs;
- 1 tbsp. tomato juice (preferably homemade);
- 3 tbsp. l. sunflower oil.
Preparation:
- Peel and wash the whole carrots with onions. Grate the carrots on a fine grater, and chop the onion into arbitrary pieces. Wash lentils under running water. Peel the cabbage from the top sheets and chop finely with a knife. Pour the oil into a skillet and heat.
- Put carrots and onions in hot oil and fry until tender.
- Put the minced meat in a bowl and knead it thoroughly with your hands. Add vegetable frying, cabbage, lentils, raw eggs and salt there. Mix everything well until smooth.
- Form oblong cabbage rolls from minced meat with lentils with wet hands and place them evenly on a baking sheet with high sides. Before this, the baking sheet can be slightly oiled.
- Place the filled baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes so that the minced meat grabs a little, and the cabbage rolls keep their shape well in the future.
- Pour tomato juice into a large cup and dilute with water.
- Remove the slightly baked cabbage rolls from the oven, pour over the tomato juice and send them back to the oven for 50 minutes. During this time, they will bake, and the excess water will evaporate, leaving behind a tomato sauce.
- Remove the ready-made lazy cabbage rolls in tomato sauce from the oven, cool a little, transfer to a dish and decorate with parsley sprigs (you can use green onion feathers). Serve with boiled young potatoes, fried potatoes or any cereal.
