Thus, we can say that this is one of the most delicious folk dishes, which will not negatively affect your figure. There are many recipes, but my favorite are three cooking methods: envelopes, lazy with minced meat and meat. I will share each of them, we will also calculate the calorie content of cabbage rolls in each recipe.
Envelopes
For this dish you will need the following ingredients:
- the average head of cabbage;
- pork or chicken stuffing ;
- black pepper;
- one medium-sized carrot;
- onions - 2 pcs;
- spices;
- tomato paste;
- sunflower oil;
- salt.
Cooking
The calorie content of cabbage rolls - “envelopes” of pork is much higher than that of chicken meat, so this fact should be taken into account when choosing a filling. Usually I take cabbage and cook it in a large pan, periodically removing the top sheets. At this time, mix minced meat with spices and salt. If you wish, you can add boiled rice there, but I do not really like it, so I do not add it. We cut out thick veins in each cabbage leaf, put the filling there and wrap it. We put the envelopes in the container, each row sprinkled with grated carrots, chopped onions and spread with tomato paste. Fill with water and set to stew for 2-2.5 hours on a slow fire. Thus, it turns out that the calorie content of such cabbage rolls will be higher due to tomato. Some fry carrots in advance in sunflower oil, but then the envelopes turn out to be fatter. This dish is not recommended for people with diseases of the digestive system.
Lazy cabbage rolls
Sometimes, even if you want to make envelopes, you simply do not have enough time to prepare them. But to please my loved ones, I manage to lazy cabbage rolls. This is a very tasty and quick dish. At the same time, lazy cabbage rolls (calories 300 Kcal per 100 g of product) are a dietary dish that includes many nutrients. Shred the cabbage very finely and then wrinkle it with your hands until it releases juice. Put it in a deep pan, fill it with water and simmer under the lid for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, put the minced meat in a pan, fill it with water, salt, pepper and simmer for about 15 minutes. In the same place we fry carrots and onions in sunflower oil until golden brown with minced meat. The calorie content of lazy cabbage rolls increases due to the roasting of all products, but it turns out so much tastier. We mix everything together with cabbage and simmer for about 20 minutes, add spices, tomato paste at the very end.
Meat stuffed cabbage
Sometimes there is no forcemeat, but I still want to taste the stuffed cabbage, here I found a great way out. We take the meat, cut it into small pieces, then fry it in sunflower (olive) oil. Sprinkle cabbage leaves with boiling water and separate from the head. Take a non-stick pan , lay the cabbage leaf, slices of meat, carrots, onions and fresh tomatoes in layers. Be sure to salt everything, throw spices or spices. Pour cream on top and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes. The dish turns out to be surprisingly tasty and mouth-watering. Moreover, the calorie content of cabbage rolls with meat is no different from the calorie content of stuffing from minced meat, even less.
