Cabbage rolls with chorizo recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cabbage
• 1 pound chorizo sausage, removed from casing
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1/2 cup rice
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage leaves for 3-5 minutes, until they are slightly wilted. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chorizo sausage, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until chorizo is browned and onion is tender, for about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the drained tomatoes, rice, chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Take the cabbage leaves and cut out the tough ribs. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the rice-chorizo mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides in and roll up tightly, like a burrito.
5. Arrange the cabbage rolls in a baking dish and cover with tin foil. Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. Serve hot.
