Oven-baked cabbage pan

Ingredients for 10 servings:

• 2 heads of white cabbage
• 1 kg minced meat, mixed
• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp pepper
• 2 tbsp nutmeg, freshly grated
• 1 tbsp caraway seeds
• 1 tbsp paprika powder, hot
• 1 liter vegetable broth
• Butter flakes for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 30 minutes

Simple, without much effort, for a large roasting pan or a large casserole dish

Chop the cabbage. Preheat the oven to 210°C (top/bottom heat). Melt a few knobs of butter in a large roasting pan. Add the first layer of cabbage and place it on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the roasting pan and sprinkle the seasoning over it. Now layer half the minced meat, a layer of cabbage, the remaining minced meat, and more cabbage in the roasting pan. Pour in half a liter of broth and braise in the oven on the middle rack for about an hour. Stir once after an hour. Then stir every 30 minutes. After 2.5 hours, it should be cooked through and tender. Place the oven on top heat for about another 30 minutes to give it a little color. If you like, you can then season it with sour cream. We serve it with boiled potatoes. The cooking time in the oven may seem long, but this is a great way to prepare the dish in advance.
