List of Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Cabbage Leaves
Remove the hard stalk from cabbage leaves. Wash them. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the cabbage leaves for 2–3 minutes until soft. Drain and allow to cool.
Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine the corned beef, egg, breadcrumbs, grated onion, zucchini, carrot, parsley, pepper and a pinch of salt.
Assemble the Cabbage Rolls
Place a portion of the mixture in the centre of each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
Cook the Sauce Base
Heat the olive oil in a deep pan. Fry the chopped onion until soft, then add the garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute.
Prepare the Tomato Sauce
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, gravy, and bay leaf. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer the Cabbage Rolls
Carefully place the cabbage rolls into the sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
