  • How to make lazy cabbage rolls: Run the meat through a grinder twice (or use finely ground meat), then put it in a skillet and let it cook down in its own juices. Rinse the rice and cook until just done. Dice the onion and sauté until soft, then stir the rice and onion into the meat, season with salt, and mix well. Shred the cabbage into thin ribbons and blanch in salted boiling water until half-tender. Drain it well in a sieve, then fold it into the meat, onion, and rice. Pour in a little broth or water and stir in the tomato paste. Simmer for 30–40 minutes. About 10 minutes before the end, toast the flour in the butter until golden and stir it in to thicken. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), transfer everything to a baking dish, and bake for 15 minutes. For an extra-saucy version, whisk sour cream and tomato purée into meat or vegetable broth, pour it over the cabbage mixture, and braise for 45–50 minutes in the oven.
  • Tip: For rice that comes out perfect every time, choose a long-grain variety and rinse it until the water runs clear before cooking.
  • A note on frying oil: Every oil has a smoke point — the temperature at which it starts to burn and break down. For high-heat cooking, reach for a refined oil with a high smoke point, and avoid heating delicate unrefined oils past a gentle sauté.
