Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice in boiling water for 8 minutes until half-cooked, then drain.

  2. 2

    Carefully peel off 12 large leaves from the cabbage and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes until pliable, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Mix the pork mince, part-cooked rice, onion and garlic, season well.

  4. 4

    Place a spoonful of the filling in the centre of each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides and roll up into a parcel.

  5. 5

    Arrange the rolls snugly in a large pan, pour over the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock, and drizzle with the olive oil.

  6. 6

    Cover and simmer gently for 35-40 minutes until the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining and the cabbage is tender.
