Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 500g beef intestines (cleaned and prepped)
- 200g ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and gently peel off 12 large leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Stuff the Cabbage: Take a blanched cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the beef mixture at the base of the leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly. Repeat this process for all leaves.
- Prepare for Frying: In a shallow dish, spread the breadcrumbs. Roll each stuffed cabbage in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Fry the Rolls: Carefully place the stuffed cabbage rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve your deep-fried cabbage stuffed beef intestines with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad to balance the richness. This dish is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delightful treat for the palate. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
