Cooking Instructions:

  5. Peel the cabbage from the outer leaves, separate 6–7 whole ones. Remove hard streaks. Chop the rest of the cabbage.
  6. Blanch whole leaves in boiling water for 5 minutes and a chopped cabbage – for 2-3 minutes. Put the leaves in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain leaves with a towel.
  7. Add chopped cabbage to chilled rice, then add currants, pistachios, pine nuts and mint. Add salt, pepper and mix. In each cabbage leave put on a tablespoon of a mixture of rice and cabbage and wrap.
  8. Put the resulting stuffed cabbage rolls in a baking pan, place between them cinnamon sticks. Salt, pepper. Remove skin from tomatoes, coarsely chop and spread them on top of cabbage rolls. Cover the pan and cook in the oven at 350 degrees of Fahrenheit for an hour.
