Step 1
I cook them in a pot, but this dish can also be made in a Dutch oven or even baked in the oven. You may use store-bought ground meat.
Step 2
Wash the cabbage head, remove damaged outer leaves. You can trim the core now or leave it for easier handling. In a large pot, boil water and place the whole cabbage inside. Cook until the leaves separate easily. Carefully remove as many leaves as possible.

Step 3
Prepare the filling: cut the chicken and pork into chunks and grind them using a meat grinder or blender.
Step 4
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Boil it in salted water until fully or half cooked—just make sure it's fluffy. Drain and let it cool.
Step 5
Peel and finely dice the onion.

In a bowl, combine ground chicken and pork, rice, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. You can add any spices to taste.
Step 7
Trim the thick stems from the base of each cabbage leaf. Place some filling at the edge of a leaf, fold the sides in, and roll into a neat parcel. Repeat with the rest.
Step 8
Prepare the sour cream sauce. You can use any fat content of sour cream.
