1

Cut the medium cabbage in half, then cut each half into quarters.

2

Remove the core from the cabbage quarters and place them in boiling water.

3

Add more water to the pot if necessary and cover to let the cabbage soften, checking for doneness with your hands.

4

Boil the cabbage for 8-9 minutes, adjusting time based on the firmness of the leaves.

5

Remove the cabbage from the water and let it cool.

6

In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of rice and rinse it.

7

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the rice.

8

Pour in 1 cup of vegetable oil and add 150 grams of ground beef.

9

Add 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

10

Mix the filling thoroughly and then add 1 chopped onion, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, a handful of chopped parsley, and 1 grated tomato.

11

Mix the filling again until well combined.

12

Lay out the cabbage leaves and place a spoonful of filling at the base of each leaf, rolling tightly to enclose the filling.

13

Place the rolled cabbage in a pot, layering with leftover cabbage leaves at the bottom to prevent sticking.

14

Add 2 teaspoons of salt on top of the rolls and pour in 4 cups of hot water.

15

Cover the pot with a plate to weigh down the rolls and bring to a boil.

16

Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and cook for 35-40 minutes, checking at 15-20 minutes to ensure even cooking.

17

After cooking, prepare a topping by melting 2 tablespoons of butter and adding 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

18

Drizzle the melted butter over the cabbage rolls and let them rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
