Filled Green Cabbage

Ingredients:

1 green cabbage                125 g mozzarella 

500 g ground meat             1 egg

1 teaspoon garlic powder 

1 teaspoon paprika powder (red bell pepper powder)

1 T tomato ketchup            50 g bread crumbs

sunflower oil (or any oil)     1 onion

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon curry powder    fresh ground pepper

salt to taste

Extra:

aluminum foil

Preparation:

First we will prepare and blanch the cabbage:

1. Cut the leaves of the cabbage and remove the white and hard stem. 
2. Blanch the leaves for about 1 minute and wash it with cold water directly. In this way, we're able to preserve the color.
3. Making the Filling:
4. Cut the mozarella in cubes and mix it with the ground meat, egg, garlic powder, paprika powder and ketchup. Add the bread crumbs. Season it with salt and pepper. Divide the ground meat mix in 8 portions. Prepare 8 pieces aluminum foil.
5. Sprinkle some oil to the foil so that the cabbage and the aluminum foil will not stick to each other. Flattened the cabbage in the middle. Put the ground meat mix in the midle of the cabbage and roll tightly together with the foil. At this point it looks like an embutido. Repeat this procedure until you're done.
6. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

        Serve and have fun!
