Preparation method
Preparing the cabbage and meatballs
Shred the white cabbage into thin strips, sprinkle half of the salt over it, and knead it gently with your hands for 2-3 minutes to soften.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion. In a large bowl, mix the minced meat with half of the chopped onion, the rinsed rice, the egg, half of the finely chopped fresh dill, half of the sweet paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to taste.
Mix the meat mixture well until thoroughly combined and, with moistened hands, shape into round walnut-sized meatballs (about 12-14 pieces).
Chef's tip
If you want an even more flavorful cabbage dish, you can add 50 ml of dry white wine or a little concentrated tomato paste while sautéing.
The dish is even more delicious the next day, after all the flavors of thyme, dill, and meat have melded together.
