Steps to Make Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole

Norwegian Cabbage Rolls

I find this the easiest way to do it, but you don't have to do it this way.

Recipe Summary Norwegian Cabbage Rolls

Velkommen! My take on traditional Norwegian kålruletter. My girlfriend likes the way I make them. I use a little less potato starch and throw some caraway seeds and rice in the filling, leaving a more meaty texture and a bit more flavor, in my opinion. Serve with brunsaus (brown gravy), rice, and boiled potatoes. Agurksalat (cucumber salad) is a great accompaniment to this dish.

Ingredients | Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

1 pound 80% lean ground beef

1 cup cooked rice

½ cup heavy whipping cream

1 large egg

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 teaspoons potato starch

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

2 large heads cabbage, cored

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking pan.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Transfer onion to a large mixing bowl and add beef, cooked rice, cream, egg, parsley, potato starch, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, caraway seeds, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix to combine in an even consistency and refrigerate filling until needed.

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Place 1 head of cabbage in the boiling water and parboil until bright green and leaves are softened, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove cabbage with tongs or a large fork. Repeat with remaining head of cabbage. Allow to cool, about 10 minutes.

Remove outer leaves from the cooled cabbage. Lay 1 leaf flat on a work surface and cut out the stem. Spoon a generous 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the leaf. Fold the corners at the stem end diagonally over the filling, fold the sides over, and roll up like a tiny burrito. Place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat to make remaining cabbage rolls until filling is used up.

Add water to the baking pan until it is halfway up the sides of the cabbage rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven until beef is cooked through and no longer pink, about 40 minutes.

You can use ground lamb instead of ground beef, and cornstarch instead of potato starch.

Cooking time will vary based on thickness of cabbage rolls.
