- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Optional: 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 small onion, finely chopped, 70 g.
- Pepper, to taste
- Turmeric or paprika, to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice, 195 g.
- 12 large cabbage leaves, 400 g.

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, crushed garlic, grated ginger (if using), turmeric, chopped onion, pepper, and cooked rice.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to form a filling mixture.
- Prepare the Cabbage Leaves: Remove the tough stem from each cabbage leaf. Using kitchen scissors, cut a triangle shape at the base of each leaf to remove the tough center vein. This will make the leaves easier to roll.
- Steam the Cabbage Leaves: Place the prepared cabbage leaves in a steamer basket or pot with a steaming rack. Steam the leaves until they are softened and pliable, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the steamer and set aside.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a portion of the filling mixture onto the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled cabbage rolls in a baking dish, seam side down.
- Add Sauce and Bake: Pour the marinara sauce over the cabbage rolls, ensuring they are evenly covered.Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are heated through and the pork is cooked.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the foil and serve the cabbage rolls hot, garnished with any additional desired herbs or spices. Enjoy!
