Make slits in cabbage base or cut out core. Boil whole cabbage until softened. Drain and cool, then separate leaves, keeping them intact.

Lay a cabbage leaf flat, add 1 tablespoon of filling, and roll into a cabbage roll by folding in edges.

5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and brown cabbage rolls on both sides.

Place browned cabbage rolls in a pot. Sprinkle with remaining onions and grated carrots.
