Рецепт
1. Make minced meat from chicken breast, one onion and a clove of garlic.
2. Add washed wheat grits, some of the spices, salt and mix.
3. Chop the second onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
4. Prepare cabbage leaves in a way that suits you. To do this, cut the stalk in a circle and lower the head of cabbage into boiling water. As the cabbage softens, remove the soft leaves and place on a plate. You can also keep the cabbage in the microwave until softened. Thickenings on the leaves need to be cut off with a knife.
5. Pour a glass of boiling water into the pan and lower the prepared onions and carrots. Simmer for five minutes. Then add spices and tomato paste, salt. If the tomato paste is sour, add a little sugar. Instead of tomato paste, I use crushed tomatoes and sweet peppers. Simmer the sauce for a couple more minutes.
6. Place a portion of minced meat on the cooled cabbage leaves and form cabbage rolls.
7. Place the cabbage rolls in the pan with the sauce. If necessary, add more boiling water. Add salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the cabbage is soft. The time, of course, is relative and depends on the type of cabbage.
8. Diet chicken cabbage rolls are ready. They can be sprinkled with herbs and served with sour cream or just broth.
9. Bon appetit!
