Lazy cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice in a saucepan are a delicious and satisfying homemade dish. What are lazy cabbage rolls? These are vegetables stewed with rice and minced meat. This dish is much easier to prepare than the classic one. No need to waste time forming cabbage rolls by wrapping them in cabbage leaves. It tastes the same dish, only much faster. Hope my recipe lazy cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice in a saucepan, you will certainly enjoy it.
Ingredients:
Let's prepare the vegetables. Cut the onion into small cubes, chop the carrots on a grater. Thinly cut the white cabbage.
Wash the rice thoroughly, fill it with cold water (it should be 3 centimeters higher than the rice cereal). Covering with a lid, put the dishes with rice on the fire. After boiling, salt and boil the cereal until half cooked. Then carefully drain the water and cool.
Wash the meat, clean it, cut it into pieces and grind it in a blender or meat grinder.
Pour sunflower oil into a thick-walled saucepan. Let it warm up and put the chopped onion in a saucepan. Stir until soft.
Next, add the grated carrots.
Fry the vegetables a little together and add the minced meat.
While stirring, the ingredients will simmer over low heat.
When the minced meat with vegetables is slightly fried, pour in the tomato juice. Better to use natural, it tastes much better. You can add grated peeled tomatoes.
Stew the meat and vegetables a little, covering the pan with a lid. The time depends on the type of meat in the recipe.
Add finely chopped white cabbage.
Season the dish with salt and spices. Pour in 150 ml of purified water. Stir and simmer until tender.
Cabbage rolls are therefore called lazy, because the method of their preparation is not so laborious in comparison with the classic version. The dish turns out to be no less tasty, very beloved by children who strive to remove cabbage leaves from ordinary stuffed cabbage, preferring them meat filling... There are many recipes for lazy cabbage rolls, but how to cook it right?
Like ordinary cabbage rolls, lazy ones cook with three main ingredients: cabbage, meat and rice. A big plus of the dish is the opportunity to experiment and constantly change its shape: serve in the form of round "hedgehogs", mouth-watering large cutlets with gravy, oval ala-schnitzels and so on. In the simplest version, especially if the time for cooking is sorely lacking, you can also make it in the form of a casserole, cutting into portions just before serving. And you can also cook it anywhere: in a skillet, in a slow cooker, oven or saucepan. It is enough to master the basic recipe in order to make minor adjustments later.
The first thing to do is to cook the rice. For lazy cabbage rolls, in principle, any variety is suitable - round or elongated - this is a matter of taste. But with long steamed rice, cabbage rolls will more resemble hedgehogs, because, unlike round ones, this variety keeps its shape better. While the rice is cooking, finely chop the cabbage, finely chop the onion into cubes, three carrots on a coarse grater. Turn off the rice at the half-cooked stage: it will come along with the cabbage rolls. Overcooked cereal will quickly turn into porridge and lose its attractiveness. Now we proceed to the most important thing - "assembling" stuffed cabbage rolls.
Serve ready-made stuffed cabbage rolls with sauce. You can serve mashed potatoes as a side dish or eat it as an independent dish. Be sure to offer slices of fresh white bread.
Our advice! Any meat is suitable for a dish, except that just not a specific mutton. A tender and soft dish will turn out from chicken mixed with pork loin. Very tasty stuffed cabbage rolls are obtained from a mixture of ground beef with pork or chicken.
A multicooker can greatly simplify the process. The hostess does not have to mold the cutlets, all the ingredients can be stacked in layers, like a meat casserole. Lazy cabbage rolls in a multicooker turn out to be more dietary: you can add a purely symbolic amount of butter (just grease the bottom of the pan), and there will be no flour and crackers in the cabbage rolls. The calorie content of ready-made cabbage rolls in a multicooker is 153 kcal per 100 grams.
So, we cut all the ingredients in exactly the same way as in the first recipe (see the classic step-by-step recipe), and then put everything on the bottom of the multi-bowl in layers in the following sequence:
Fill the cabbage rolls with sauce, turn on the multicooker to the "baking" mode, if you want the dish to resemble a baked one. You can use the "rice" mode, and then the food will be cooked and become stewed. Cooking time depends only on the capabilities of the device. For the Polaris multicooker, for example, it will take about 40 minutes, and for the Sakura multicooker it will take only 10-12 minutes.
The dish is served with fresh herbs and the best seasoning in this case is parsley.
Lazy cabbage rolls can take their rightful place at a Sunday family dinner if you bake them in the oven. Lazy cabbage rolls in the oven turn out beautiful if you bake them in portions, shaping them into large cutlets.
You should not be wise in the cooking process: feel free to rely on classic recipe... But, unlike him, cabbage rolls should not be rolled in flour and breadcrumbs: they are molded and carefully laid out on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, put stuffed cabbage rolls, bake until tender, periodically pouring sauce over it. If you miss this moment, the dish may lose its juiciness. The total cooking time is 45 minutes.
Gourmet advice! Even if you accidentally dry cabbage rolls, do not despair. Serve them with a sauce that can be prepared with ketchup, mayonnaise, sour cream, mixed in equal parts. If you add finely chopped parsley to it, squeeze out one clove of garlic, it will turn out to be spicy and piquant.
In the classic version, cabbage rolls are usually baked under sour cream and tomato sauce. But the version without sour cream turns out to be very interesting: tomatoes give the dish a characteristic sourness, which emphasizes the taste of vegetables and minced meat.
The technology here is very simple: we do everything exactly the same as in the basic recipe, but we do not add sour cream. For a thicker and denser consistency, you can mix tomato sauce with flour - this will make it thicker. We bake cabbage rolls until tender, serve with fresh herbs. Fresh cilantro will add an oriental touch to the dish: this aromatic spice is ideally combined with tomatoes. But, this is advice for an amateur: it is quite possible to eat stuffed cabbage rolls with parsley or dill.
Nuance! Instead of pasta, it is better to take fresh tomatoes or tomatoes in your own juice. They are poured over with boiling water, carefully peeled off, grated or punched with a blender. It is better to salt and pepper the sauce right away and let it brew a little.
You can easily do without tomatoes - sour cream sauce will soften the dish, make the consistency melt in the mouth, so that the dish will ideally fit into the diet of children from one year old. Roll small cutlets from the finished cabbage and minced meat, put them in a deep baking dish and pour over the sour cream sauce.
How to cook it? Very simple: mix in a glass a little water (or even better meat broth) with three tablespoons of fresh sour cream, 20% fat and a teaspoon of flour. Season the sauce with salt. Let it brew a little. Pour the cabbage rolls. It is better to bake the dish in the oven for 30 minutes. Serve with fresh savory scones.
Nuance! Instead of sour cream, milk or cream is suitable, which is not mixed with broth, using in its pure form.
It is better to stew cabbage rolls in a saucepan in layers, just like in a multicooker. Vegetables, minced meat, rice, laid out in layers, and then poured with sauce. But here it is important to make sure that the dish does not run away and burn: to do this, switch the stove to the slowest fire, as soon as they boil.
Tasty, simple, fast, stuffed cabbage rolls are prepared in a saucepan under milk filling.
Cabbage rolls are poured with milk (it is enough to take half a liter), brought to a boil, and then languish until cooked over the slowest heat (about 40 minutes). You will be surprised, but the milk is completely absorbed into the layers, the rice will steam out, and an appetizing golden brown crust will appear on top. The dish turns out to be tender, juicy, and both children and adults love it.
You can cook lazy cabbage rolls in the same pan where they were fried. To do this, immediately after frying, fill them with ready-made tomato sauce, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes. The main thing is that the dishes are deep enough, otherwise the sauce will start to "run away".
It is important! Make sure that the sauce completely covers the cabbage rolls in the pan, otherwise they will not be saturated with it and will be dry. But when cooked correctly, they turn out to be juicy and very appetizing.
We remember some dishes for many years from the days of kindergarten. Lazy cabbage rolls from the garden are in a sense a legend. Perhaps there is not a single person who does not remember them from childhood. Meanwhile, the main principle of cooking in kindergarten is the minimum use of spices, and the complete absence of ingredients that can damage the delicate stomachs of children.
The dish is not cooked in portions, all components are mixed and stewed at the same time in a large container. It should be well heated, then the taste becomes excellent. At the end, you can add a lump of butter.
The dish is very valuable because it is easy to prepare during fasting, as well as on a temporary meat-free diet. Rice is mixed with fried vegetables, stewed cabbage. Minced meat is used to form oblong cutlets, which are stewed with a sauce of tomatoes and herbs (sour cream, if you remember, should not be consumed during fasting either). The dish is very satisfying, especially when you eat it with a bite of black bread.
As you can see, such a simple dish as lazy cabbage rolls has a lot of cooking options. There are no special tricks, and if you cook it several times, "fill your hand", then the total time will hardly exceed an hour. The dish can be cooked two to three days in advance. It does not lose its taste during storage, but, on the contrary, becomes more aromatic.
Lazy cabbage rolls, like their classic "full" version, are made from cabbage, minced meat and rice. Only they can take on different forms. Some housewives cook them in the form of large cutlets. Others, who are even more keen to insulate themselves from cooking, simply chop the ingredients and stew them in a saucepan / in a skillet / in a slow cooker (underline as appropriate). There is also an option, described in the anecdote, when the cabbage is on the balcony, and the minced meat is in the refrigerator. But we will certainly not touch on it. Let's go the most difficult way and cook lazy cabbage rolls in a pan. The recipe with a photo describes step by step all the actions - from cutting products to shaping, frying and stewing stuffed cabbage cutlets. Everything is extremely simple!
Put the rice to cook. Both round and long-grain are suitable. Rinse it well before cooking. Pay attention to the way rice is processed in production. Steamed cereals retain their shape better, and polished after cooking turns into porridge. Therefore, it is better to take the first one. Pour 1 to 1 water over the rice and place on the stove. Cook over low heat until the liquid is completely boiled away. The rice will be slightly undercooked. But it will come to readiness during frying and stewing cabbage rolls. | 
|
Prepare your vegetables. Chop the onion into small cubes. | 
|
Grate the carrots coarsely or cut into thin strips. | 
|
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add carrots. Fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to cook the straws evenly. | 
|
Add the onion. Stir. Cook until the onions are translucent. | 
|
Lazy cabbage rolls don't turn into cabbage. Therefore, you do not have to cook a head of cabbage, remove whole leaves from it, and then wrap the meat in envelopes. Everything is much simpler. Remove the top leaves from the fork. Cut off about a quarter of it. Chop finely. | 
|
Transfer the cabbage strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir. Reduce heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes under a closed lid. To prevent the vegetables from burning, add a little water or broth to them. The cabbage will not soften during cooking. But this is not necessary. Vegetables should be semi-cooked, as the Italians say - "al dente". Otherwise, their taste will be practically indistinguishable in ready-made cabbage rolls. | 
|
For the base of the dish, I took moderately fat minced pork (there was no other in the store). But it is possible (and even necessary) to use combined, and purely beef or chicken. Lazy cabbage rolls will still turn out juicy and tender due to stewing in a pan in tomato sauce... Transfer the minced meat to a deep bowl. Add finely chopped greens to it (I had parsley). And minced garlic. You can take other spices - black ground pepper, a little coriander, mustard, oregano, etc. | 
|
Put the stewed vegetables there when they cool slightly. Beat in an egg. Salt. The minced meat should be slightly salted so that the stuffed cabbage does not turn out to be bland. But don't overdo it. Don't forget about rice. Advice: If the minced meat itself is rather viscous, you do not need to add the egg. Egg white can make stuffed cabbage rolls tougher. | 
|
Stir the mass. Tap the bottom of the bowl lightly. The base of cabbage rolls should be viscous and pliable. Form lazy presets. The form is at your discretion. You can imitate the rectangular-rounded classic stuffed cabbage rolls. You can mold oval cutlets. Round blanks are fine too. | 
|
Sprinkle them in a little flour. Thanks to her, the cabbage rolls will be covered with a golden crust and will not fall apart in the pan during frying. The flour will also thicken the tomato sauce. |

Lazy stuffed cabbage rolls in a pan are juicy, tender, literally melting in your mouth and evaporating from the plate. In fact, they are lazy because you do not need to separate the leaves, beat them off, cut off the thickenings, then carefully and carefully wrap, in general, a minimum of additional actions. And the result is really amazing, the ingredients are the same: cabbage and meat, the taste is completely different. The most delicate stuffed cabbage rolls are made from minced chicken, but you can use any.
Cooking time:
1 hour 30 minutes, of which 40 minutes for preparation, 25-30 minutes for frying, 20-25 minutes for stewing. The cooking time is approximate, it may vary from the individual characteristics of the plate, as well as from the thickness of the cabbage leaves.
Servings:
10 cabbage rolls
Preparing: on the stove
Ingredients:
We take white cabbage, remove the spoiled leaves, if any, wash it thoroughly and cut off the piece we need. We calculate the size of the piece by a ratio of 1 to 3, that is, for 700 grams of minced meat, about 230 grams of cabbage. These proportions are the most optimal, but this is a matter of taste. We send a slice of cabbage to reach an almost ready state for a couple, it will take about 30 minutes. It is better to turn the slice after 15 minutes so that it cooks more evenly. Time may vary depending on the thickness of the cabbage leaves. You can just boil our piece in water, it will be faster, but then there is a possibility that the cabbage is too fermented and tastes better for a couple.
If instead of white cabbage take an iceberg, then lazy cabbage rolls will turn out even more tender.
While the cabbage is cooking, wash and peel the onions and carrots, remove excess parts, if any. Cut one onion into small cubes, and the second onion in half rings, and rub the carrots, put everything in different containers. One head of onion will go into cabbage rolls, and the other into gravy. We check the cabbage, if it is cooked, then we take it out, let it cool down a little, so as not to burn our hands when we cut it. Now we cut the cabbage into small cubes, the smaller the better, but you don't need to use a meat grinder or blender, otherwise the cabbage rolls will be too watery.
In the minced meat, add one chicken egg, one onion, cut into small cubes and spices (paprika, dried garlic, coriander, black pepper, any favorite) and salt to taste. We mix.
We put the frying pan on the fire and pour in the vegetable oil. When the cabbage has cooled to the end, pour it into the minced meat and knead everything well until smooth.
We take minced chicken with cabbage, form a bun. With the other hand we flatten it, forming a cake and form "cutlets". Minced meat came out a kilogram, from which 10 cabbage rolls are obtained, you can immediately divide the entire mass into 10 koloboks so that they come out the same, or you can take one at a time.
So that the minced meat does not stick to our hands, we moisten our hands in water.
If the oil has already warmed up, put our lazy cabbage rolls in a frying pan and fry on moderate heat on each side for 2-3 minutes (until golden brown). We put the fried cabbage rolls in a plate.
Step 7
Put a large skillet on the fire, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil has warmed up enough, pour out the pre-cooked carrots, fry them for 3-4 minutes, add the pre-cooked onions, fry until golden brown in time, also about 3-4 minutes.
