PREPARATION METHOD:

1st Step

Start the water boiling in a big saucepan. Carefully place the cored cabbage into the boiling water and simmer for three to five minutes, or until the outer leaves are soft. Take off the leaves when they get pliable and lay them aside to cool.

2nd Step

Cool water should be used to rinse the rice. Mix the ground beef, uncooked rice, onion, garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper together in a basin. Combine well by mixing.

3rd Step

Fill the middle of a single cabbage leaf with the meat mixture. The leaf is rolled up into a tidy bundle by first folding in the sides. To fill all the leaves, repeat the process.

4th Step

Put the tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, raisins (if using), salt, and pepper in a different bowl. Add the crushed tomatoes and mix them together. Blend carefully to make a tasty condiment.
