Ingredients

- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place it in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes to soften the leaves. Remove and let cool.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, lentils, chopped onion, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Rolls: Take a cabbage leaf and place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling at the base. Fold the sides over and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- Prepare for Cooking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish.
- Top and Bake: Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy warm!
