Lazy cabbage rolls with rice - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! You can use ground turkey, chicken, pork, or a mix of meats for a different flavor. Leaner meats may require a bit more seasoning for taste.
Replace the mince with lentils, mashed beans, or a plant-based ground meat alternative. Omit the egg or use a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) to bind the mixture.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Absolutely! Freeze them in a single layer before baking or after cooling. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven for best texture.
Skip the rice and add riced cauliflower or finely chopped mushrooms for bulk. Ensure your tomato paste is low-carb or replace with a cream-based sauce.
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt adds creaminess.
Yes! If using fresh cabbage, blend 200ml water with 60g tomato paste and a handful of shredded cabbage for a fresher sauce.
Double or triple the recipe as needed. Use a larger baking dish or divide into two dishes to ensure even cooking. Baking time may increase slightly.
The mixture may be too wet. Add breadcrumbs or more rice to absorb excess moisture. Let the mixture rest for 10 mins before forming for better binding.
