Equipment
- 2.5 quart microwave-safe dish (optional)
- 9x13 glass baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb cabbage
- 1 lb ground pork
- ½ onion
- 2-3 tbsp fresh dill fresh
- 2 tsp salt divided
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¾ cups rice uncooked
- 1 cup Passata
- 1 tsp sugar
- cooking spray
Binder:
- ½ cup passata
- ½ cup milk 2%
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp sugar
Topping (optional):
- ½ cup passata
Instructions
- Start with cooking the rice. My preferred method is to cook the rice in the microwave. Add the rice and 1 1/4 cups of water to a microwave-safe dish with 1 tsp salt. The dish must be graded for cooking in the microwave. I use Corning Ware. Set the power level for the microwave to 60% and the cooking time to 30 minutes. If you don’t have an appropriate dish, cook the rice on the stovetop following the package instructions minute a few minutes of cooking. The rice will cook through the rest of the way in the oven.¾ cups rice, 2 tsp salt
- Next, preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- While the rice is cooking, heat up the large pan and cook the ground pork for about 6-7 minutes breaking it up as it cooks.1 lb ground pork
- In the meantime, dice the onion, and roughly chop the cabbage and dill.1 lb cabbage, ½ onion, 2-3 tbsp fresh dill fresh
- Once the meat is almost cooked, add the remaining salt, the onion and cabbage. Stir to combine and cook until the cabbage and onion begin to soften. (7-8 minutes). Stir occasionally to cook the cabbage evenly.½ onion, 2 tsp salt, 1 lb cabbage
- Next, add 1 cup passata, sugar, dill and pepper and stir once again, then add the rice to the pan. Stir everything to combine well.2-3 tbsp fresh dill fresh, ½ tsp ground black pepper, 1 cup Passata, 1 tsp sugar, ¾ cups rice
- In a glass measuring cup combine the remaining passata, milk, sugar and the eggs and whisk to combine.1/2 cup milk 2%, 2 eggs, ½ tsp sugar, ½ cup passata
- Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray and move the contents of the pan to the baking dish. Spread it out in an even layer then pour the milk/passata/egg mixture over the top. Give the dish a quick couple of shakes to get that liquid in between the rice.cooking spray
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Before serving you can spread a thin layer of passata and dill over the top.½ cup passata
