However, not all housewives agree to spend time on the appropriate preparation of cabbage leaves. There is only one way out: make lazy cabbage rolls with minced meat.

Cooking features
lazy cabbage rolls are cutlets made from cabbage, minced meat and rice, baked or stewed in sauce. In the very simple version these are not even cutlets, but cabbage, minced meat, rice and vegetables stewed in sauce. At first glance, it may seem that you can make such a dish without knowing any subtleties. However, this impression is deceptive. In order to put out all the components in one container, it really does not require great skill. But not everyone manages to cook real lazy cabbage rolls in the form of oblong or round cutlets the first time. Knowing a few secrets will make them tasty and appetizing without unsuccessful experiments.
- From lean meat it is difficult to cook minced meat that is sufficiently viscous and dense to keep the shape given to it during baking or stewing. Therefore, it is preferable to take pork or mixed minced meat with the addition of pork.
- Even an experienced chef cannot make something truly tasty out of low-quality products. Therefore, pay attention to the composition of minced meat, its category, date of manufacture and expiration date. It is even better to cook it yourself from meat, the quality of which you are sure.
- It happens that the cabbage is slightly bitter. In this case, it must be chopped and put in hot water for 5 minutes, then removed and squeezed.
- Rice for lazy cabbage rolls needs to be boiled until half cooked. Otherwise, it may not have time to cook and remain solid, which will not have the best effect on the taste of the finished dish.
- So that lazy cabbage rolls do not fall apart during stewing or baking, they are usually fried in a pan. This also affects the taste of ready-made cabbage rolls favorably.

Today I cooked very lazy cabbage rolls. I just cut all the ingredients from this recipe into large chunks and passed through a meat grinder twice, even rice. I added fried onions so that half of them could be frozen and so that after defrosting, raw onions would not spoil the dish. Before, I just cut cabbage and doused it with boiling water, but today there was no time to mess around. Probably, this is a matter of taste, but such lazy cabbage rolls, in which the minced meat is brought almost to a homogeneous mass, were much more liked by me and my picky husband.
The only thing I will change in the future is that I will either sauté or blanch the carrot beforehand, because it crunched a little in all this tender mass, I want to fix it later.
Answer: Anna, thank you for sharing your recipe.

Awesome recipe, I'm really, really sorry that I didn't pay attention to it for so long! I was too lazy to cut the cabbage, crumbled it in a blender, it turned out so small that I didn’t pour boiling water over it, since it was fresh. Rice used brown, unpolished. Well, oh so delicious! Very! The minced meat was divided into 12 parts, ideally laid down in a baking dish. Thank you!
Answer: Masha, I'm glad that you returned to us from Montignac:) Hooray!
Elena: | June 24th, 2012 | 10:10 pm
Daria, your resource is just a miracle and a godsend! You are such a good guy. I really want to follow your example. Pigeons are delicious! Is it possible to cook from ground beef and also homemade? Will it taste just as good? Came to you through the magazine "Succeed with children". Thank you very much for the book "Menu for the week"
Easy to read! Can it be sent to other mothers?
Answer: ground beef should contain at least 1/4 of adipose tissue, then it will turn out delicious: rice and cabbage will be saturated with meat juices and will be juicy. And I will be very glad if you send the book to other mothers. There are convenient buttons at the bottom of the post for reposting to any social networks. Thank you!

The recipe is wonderful. The whole family liked the cabbage rolls. They just turned out a little sweeter for me. Maybe it's because of the carrots?
Answer: Yes, it is possible. Carrots can impart a sweetish taste. And some manufacturers add sugar to tomato sauce. So it could also have that effect.

Thanks for the recipe! In principle, my husband did not recognize lazy cabbage rolls, but he ate these and praised them. I just scalded the cabbage before mixing, so that it stews better
How is my recipe different from all the others? You ask)))
Nothing, in general...
The thing is that I am very lazy in my essence ... besides, for some time now I don’t like to cook ... but, I love it, I don’t like it, but I need to feed my family ... Yes, it’s tasty and satisfying to feed. Therefore, I try in every possible way to reduce my time at the stove, looking for the opportunity to cook as quickly as possible ... and get at least some pleasure from this process, because we all know that you need to cook only in a good mood, since tastes directly depend on this the quality of any food.
And lazy cabbage rolls are just one of those dishes that do not take much time, they are easy to prepare, not very expensive in terms of products and are quite tasty. Of course, about the taste - everyone has their own tastes))) ... but my household likes it.
And in order to cheer myself up and you while cooking, I will dance)))
The set of products is standard: 
- Cabbage,
- Carrot,
- Ground meat,
- Salt, pepper, bay leaf, seasonings and herbs to taste and stock from the refrigerator ...
How to cook lazy cabbage rolls quickly
If desired, you can add greens, sweet peppers, and, in general, anything to cabbage rolls))) because cabbage rolls are nothing more than stuffed leaves of a plant (in our case, cabbage) with a mixture of vegetables, minced meat and rice ... K In a word, you can do without minced meat ... Well, lazy cabbage rolls are all of the above, but mixed ...
For a family of 6, I take a quarter of a fairly large head of cabbage, one medium carrot and onion each, two 400-gram packs of minced meat, plus about a third of a pack of rice. All these products will turn into lazy cabbage rolls in a huge frying pan, but you can do this in a saucepan. And we also need a whole kettle of hot boiled water ...
I perform all the actions of cutting products in parallel with the preparation of the dish and do it very quickly. THOSE. In the following way:
I put a frying pan with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil to warm up (on a small fire) on the stove (we make sure that the oil does not start to burn). At this time, at the pace of the waltz, cut the onion into cubes and send it to sauté in a frying pan. We grab a large grater in one hand, a carrot in the other, and here it is no longer a waltz, but a tap ...
We quickly rubbed it, and the carrot goes to the onion ... 
If you have a little wilted greens, then it's time to add it to the onions and carrots. We mix everything with one hand ... waiting for the onions and carrots to change color and become more transparent ...
... add minced meat with the second hand 
Salt, pepper (ground pepper or hops - suneli) and mix everything that is in the pan. The mince will give some juice. But I'll still add a little hot water so that the whole thing does not burn and close the pan with a lid 
While the minced meat is stewing a little, it's time to do the cabbage. I cut it as usual, not very small, not very large, while dancing something like a twist, with such medium-sized bars.
While I was dancing the twist, the minced meat in the pan was partially scalded, that is, it changed color, you can lay cabbage 
Again, mix everything and under the lid - let it simmer for a couple of minutes. 
During this time, the stuffing will be completely scalded, the cabbage will settle a little, and with smooth movements in the rhythm of the tango I will get bay leaves and allspice (peas) from the top shelf of the kitchen wall, and measure about 1/3 of a pack of rice (better less than more)
Open the lid, pour the rice into the pan and mix it with all the ingredients
Then pour the contents of the pan with hot water from the kettle so that the water covers a little, no more than a centimeter, a mixture of minced vegetables and rice.
There is also a couple of leaves of lavrushka, peppercorns, plus salt (we already salted minced meat, but not rice)))
Again, mix a little (only in order to evenly distribute the salt) and the whole thing, gas to the full ... Has it boiled? We turned off the gas and the pan under the lid - let it languish until the water is completely absorbed into the rice ... 
Now you can relax or do something more interesting than cooking, for 15 minutes or just dance to your favorite rhythm.
But don't forget to keep an eye on the pan. There is a risk that the water will quickly be absorbed and evaporated and the cabbage rolls will start to burn. And this is not good. It is better to turn them off when there is still moisture in the bottom of the pan. If you cook in a saucepan, then after turning off the saucepan, you can remove it from the stove and wrap it up ... lazy cabbage rolls will reach themselves.
Time to table! 
It doesn’t look very presentable, but it’s tasty and I’m not afraid to say that it’s healthy. Since practically nothing was fried in this dish, but more was boiled and stewed. And if such lazy cabbage rolls seem insipid to you, then you can always flavor them with ketchup, salted, pickled cucumber or, as we like, spicy red cabbage when serving.
