Lazy Cabbage Rolls Baked in Sauce

Finely chop and sauté the onion and grate the carrot, then shred the cabbage and add it to the veggies. Sauté for a couple of minutes, splash in a little water, and simmer covered on low heat for 5-10 minutes.

Cook the rice until done (it is fine if it is slightly undercooked—it will finish in the oven), let it cool, and combine the vegetables, rice, ground meat, and egg. Add fresh herbs, season with salt and pepper, and shape into cutlets with wet hands.

For the sauce, mix sour cream, tomato paste, and water, and pour it over the cabbage rolls.
