Cabbage and Mushroom Rolls

Cabbage and Mushroom Rolls are a delightful vegan dish featuring tender cabbage leaves stuffed with a savory mushroom and rice filling, then baked to perfection. This dish combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with aromatic spices, making it a satisfying and healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Green cabbage - 8 large leaves
• Brown rice - 100 grams (1/2 cup, uncooked)
• Mushrooms (shiitake or button) - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (optional, for thickening)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the cabbage leaves and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside to cool.
3. In a pot, cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
4. In a pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the chopped mushrooms and grated carrot to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and any moisture has evaporated.
6. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, cooked rice, soy sauce, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
7. Take a cabbage leaf and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling at the base. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat for all leaves.
8. Place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour vegetable broth over the rolls and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. If using cornstarch, mix it with a little water and add it to the broth halfway through to thicken it if desired.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
