- 1 egg
- 500 g raw minced pork
- 1 cup of ready-to-use stock

- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
- 100 g uncooked white rice

Preparation
Wash the cabbage. Remove damaged leaves and the cabbage core. Lower the cabbage into a large saucepan of boiling water and gently detach the leaves as they soften. Drain and cool slightly. Shave down thick ribs without cutting through the leaves.

Mix the raw pork with the cooled rice and aromatics, egg, marjoram, nutmeg, paprika, salt and pepper. Divide the filling between the leaves. Fold the sides in and roll to enclose the filling. Line a casserole with remaining small leaves and pack the rolls closely on top, seam-side down.

Mix the passata and stock and pour into the casserole. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook gently for about 90 min until the cabbage is tender and the filling cooked through. If the sauce reduces too quickly, add a little hot water to keep the base moist.
