Lazy cabbage rolls with sauerkraut and chicken

Send

Lazy cabbage rolls with sauerkraut and chicken fillet, baked in the oven in a thick sauce of sour cream and tomato sauce, in my opinion, are even tastier than regular cabbage rolls with fresh cabbage. Once I saw on TV a recipe for cabbage rolls in Hungarian, in which the filling was wrapped in whole leaves of sauerkraut. Since there were no whole pickled cabbages in the bins, I had to improvise, and the result exceeded expectations. In general, I propose one more to the piggy bank of recipes for stuffed cabbage recipes, my family loved it.

160 g of rice;
250 g sauerkraut;

The method of preparing lazy cabbage rolls

My chicken fillet, dry, cut into small cubes. Fillet for lazy cabbage rolls can easily be turned into mincemeat without a meat grinder and a blender, just chop it with a hatchet for meat for several minutes, and it will turn into minced meat. If this method seems difficult to you, then pass the meat through a meat grinder (nozzle with large holes).

Chop onions finely, rub the carrots on a coarse vegetable grater. Pour olive oil into a pan, put vegetables, fry over moderate heat for 15 minutes.

First, carefully rinse the sauerkraut with cold water, then pour boiling water, bring to a boil, drain the first water, again pour boiling water, boil for 15-20 minutes.

We wash the rice, pour it into the saucepan, pour a glass of cold water. After boiling, reduce the heat to a minimum, close tightly with a lid, cook for 12 minutes.

For pouring, mix sour cream and tomato puree in a bowl, add ground sweet paprika, salt to taste. Home-made preparations for such a sauce will come in handy; in my recipe, tomato puree with sweet pepper and onion is very tasty!

Cooking stuffing for lazy cabbage rolls. In a large bowl we combine all the prepared ingredients - chopped chicken, boiled rice, fried vegetables, boiled sauerkraut. If the cabbage was chopped coarsely, then I advise you to chop it smaller. Season the minced meat - salt, pepper to your liking, I also suggest adding a pinch of asafoetida. This oriental spice is made from the ferula’s milky smelly juice, it has a pungent, garlic-onion aroma, you need to add it carefully, just a little, because the aroma is unusual, not everyone can like it, because it’s not for nothing that asafoetida is called bloody feces or stinky resin.
