Directions

1
Peel and finely dice the onions. Wash the thyme, shake dry and chop the leaves finely, except for a few for garnishing. Peel garlic and chop finely. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Half
2
Add the tomato paste and half of the chopped thyme, fry briefly. Add the chopped tomatoes and stock. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
In the meantime, remove the outer leaves from the pointed cabbage. Blanch cabbage in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes. Remove 8 cabbage leaves individually. Rinse leaves and remaining cabbage cold.
4
Drain leaves side by side on kitchen paper. Cut cabbage into quarters, cut out the stalk. Chop cabbage finely. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Fry the rest of the chopped thyme with the chopped pointed cabbage and the remaining onion for 2-3 minutes.
5
Pour into a large mixing bowl. Soak the rolls in water, squeeze out well and knead with the cabbage mixture, minced meat, egg and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Divide the mince into 8 equal pieces and form into rolls. Place each roll in the middle of a cabbage leaf. Fold the sides inwards over the minced meat and roll up into a roll. Fix the rolls with wooden skewers.
7
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in portions in a coated frying pan. Sauté the rolls in 2 portions for about 2 minutes while turning them over and take them out.
8
Finely mix the tomato sauce with the blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce into an ovenproof dish (approx. 25 x 30 cm), except for a little bit. Put pointed cabbage rolls in it and drizzle with the remaining sauce.
9
Grate the cheese finely and sprinkle it on the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 20 minutes. Rice tastes good with it.
