Instructions

In a large pot, place the cabbage into boiling water and blanche for some minutes until you can loosen and take off the outer leaves. Blanch until you have got 8 large intact cabbage leaves (Use the remaining cabbage for another purpose). Chill the cabbage leaves under cold water.

Cook the rice in salted water until nearly done. Allow to cool.

In a pan melt the butter. Sauté the garlic and the shallots until lucent. Transfer into a bowl and add the rice, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika powder, parsley and the minced meat. Knead until well combined. Shape to 8 balls. Wrap the cabbage leaves around the balls until well sealed and tie with kitchen string.

In a roasting tin, heat the lard. Add the cabbage rolls and fry, turning frequently, until browned all around. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onions and sauté until lucent. Add the juniper berries and the bay leaves. Deglaze with the wine and boil down a bit. Add the cabbage rolls and the stock, cover and cook over medium heat for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 100°C. Take the cabbage rolls out of the roasting tin, place onto a serving plate and transfer into the oven to keep warm.

Mix the cornflour with a dash of cold water. Stir the mixture into the sauce and cook until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a sauce boat together with the cabbage rolls and boiled potatoes.
