It starts with preparing the cabbage leaves and creating a flavorful pork filling. Then, the rolls are stuffed, rolled up, and simmered in a tangy sauerkraut and tomato sauce. While the process may take some time, the end result is a comforting, satisfying meal that you\u2019re going to love!<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Simmer Cabbage:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350\u00baF. Prepare a large ice water bath and place it next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Carefully place the head of cabbage\u00a0into the water then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the cabbage for about 8 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool Cabbage and Remove Leaves:<\/strong> Remove the cabbage from the pot and then place it in the ice water bath to cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, carefully remove 10-12 leaves from the head.  Remove large, stalky ends, then set the leaves aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Onion:<\/strong> Discard the hot water, then place the pot back on the stove. Heat the olive oil\u00a0over medium-high heat and add the onion\u00a0to the pot. Cook the onion until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continue to Cook with Rice: <\/strong>Add the minced garlic, cooked white rice<strong>,<\/strong> paprika, salt, and pepper\u00a0to the pot, then stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat, then split the onion and rice mixture in half.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine All Filling Ingredients:<\/strong> To a large bowl, add the ground pork, egg, and half of the onion and rice mixture then mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining onion and rice mixture, sauerkraut<strong>,<\/strong> and\u00a0tomato paste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Sauerkraut Mixture to Pot:<\/strong> Spread half of the sauerkraut mixture into the bottom of a large Dutch oven that has a lid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped is-style-numbered wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"947\" data-id=\"291581\" alt=\"Angle shot of a head of cabbage in a pot of boiling water. \" class=\"wp-image-291581\" title=\"Hungarian cabbage rolls are packed with rich, hearty flavors in every bite!
