Ingredients

1 head savoy cabbage or green cabbage
1 tbsp cooking salt / kosher salt
4 cups chicken stock / broth
700 g / 25oz pork mince
1 large brown onion
1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 cups cooked white rice
2 large eggs
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp dried marjoram
2 1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
700 g / 24oz tomato passata
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white sugar
30 g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Steps

Bring a large pot of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil, then cook the cabbage for 8 minutes.
Peel off the softened leaves and trim away their thick center ribs.
Mix the pork, onion, panko, rice, eggs, garlic, marjoram, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, and parsley in a bowl.
Simmer the passata, tomato paste, chicken stock, remaining salt, pepper, sugar, and butter in a saucepan for 5 minutes.
Place about 1/3 cup filling on each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
Arrange the rolls in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, pour the sauce over them, cover, and bake at 375 F for 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes, until the pork reaches 160 F.
