2ND Stuffed cabbage, capsicum and onion in the slow cooker Recipe
Ingredients are approximate:
Filing
1kg mince meat
1/2 cup rice
1 potato shredded
1 carrot shredded
Brown onion chopped
Method:
Combine the meat, onion and carrot in a pan over the stove, salt and pepper to taste. When the meat becomes watery add the rice, cook for approximately 5 minutes the add the potato and cook for another five minutes. Stir to make sure the potato and rice don’t stick to the pan. Allow filing to cool.
Capsicum: cut off top and fill
Onion: peel skin and place in boiling water for about 4 minutes then place on cold water to make it easier to take apart. Fill
Cabbage: pickled cabbage (can buy from a European shop), add filling and roll.
Place everything and top with your favourite sauce ( I used Ajvar bought from European store) or you can use paprika spice. Mix water with flour and add. Cook on low for approximately 6 hours.
