1. Cut out the core of the cabbage, put the whole head into boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes until the outer leaves soften; peel them off one by one. ⏱ Timer: 8 min
2. Thin out the thick middle rib of the leaves with a knife.
3. Mix the meat, squeezed bread roll, onion, egg, mustard, marjoram, salt and pepper into a uniform mixture.
4. Put 2-3 tbsp of filling on each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides, roll up and secure with string or toothpicks.
5. Brown the rolls on all sides in hot oil and remove; fry the tomato purée in the fat.
6. Pour in the beef stock, return the rolls, cover and simmer over low heat for 45-50 minutes. ⏱ Timer: 45 min
7. Remove the rolls, strain the gravy and thicken it with cream mixed with flour; serve with potatoes or boiled potatoes.

Tips

• Peel the cabbage leaves carefully and, if necessary, cook the inner part longer so the leaves do not tear.
• Secure the rolls well so they do not open while cooking.
• Do not let the gravy get too thick; plenty of juice should remain around the rolls.
