Ingredients:
For the Cabbage Rolls:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Sauce:
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions:
- Prepare the Cabbage Leaves:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the outer leaves are soft and pliable. Remove the cabbage from the water and let it cool. Peel off the leaves.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Fill and Roll:
- Place a cabbage leaf on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the beef and rice mixture in the center. Roll the cabbage leaf, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, mix together tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer:
- Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in the air fryer basket, seam side down. Make sure they are not too crowded for even cooking.
- Air Fry:
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
- Serve:
- Remove the stuffed cabbage rolls from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Enjoy!
