Clean cabbage and peel off all dirty leaves. In a boiling water add salt, and the cabbage and allow to boil for 5 minutes, take it out and let it rest for another 5 minutes then peel off the leaves gently and keep aside. Trim the root leaves.

In a bowl add minced beef, spices, carrots, green and red bell peppers, onion, garlic, tomato paste, egg and mix. Then add in the rice and mix again.

Get a cabbage leaf and put a bit of the rice mixture and fold. Arrange in a pot tightly so that they fall apart. Make a basic tomato sauce and dilute it with water. Pour over the rolls and cook on low heat. Cook for about 35-45 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with parsley!
