To prepare cabbage rolls, it is very important to choose cabbage correctly - the head should be medium in size, dense enough, but not rigid, otherwise the leaves will break.

Carefully take off the soft leaves from the cabbage, if the leaves are harder near the center - repeat the procedure with boiling water. Carrots of sodium on a large grater, chop onion. Heat the frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the carrots with onion until light golden.
In a large bowl, twist the beef through a meat grinder, add the fried carrots and onion, rice, salt and pepper to taste, carefully stir the minced meat. Spread the softened cabbage leaves on the table, add minced meat and roll rolls to the center of each sheet.
