Ingredients:
- 1 whole medium sized cabbage
- Garlic - 4-5 cloves
- Thyme - 1 tsp.
- Rosemary - 1 tsp.
- Salt - 1 tsp.
- Vegetable oil - 4 tbsp.
Preparation:
1. Simply scalding a whole head of cabbage with boiling water is not enough. It must be pre-boiled. To do this, take a pan of a suitable size, put the cabbage in it with the stalk facing up and pour water so that it is at the level of this very stalk.
Next, place the pan over high heat and bring the water to a boil. After boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the cabbage for 5 minutes.
2. While it is cooking, prepare the “filling”. Place 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl and add spices (not necessarily strictly specified, you can use any others to taste). Squeeze the garlic there using a garlic press. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.
3. Having taken the head of cabbage out of the pan, place it on a baking sheet or other suitable dish, greased with vegetable oil and, using a silicone brush, generously coat it with the prepared filling.
4. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 50 minutes.
