Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

The Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Stuffed Cabbage Leaves is a cozy, crowd-pleasing dish that wraps up hearty sausage and rice in tender Savoy cabbage, all baked in a rich tomato sauce with gooey Camembert. It’s rustic, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. I made this on a chilly evening and it was pure comfort food joy. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 1 large Savoy cabbage
• 6 spicy pork sausages (400g total)
• 2 x 250g packets of cooked basmati rice
• 2 x 400g tins of plum tomatoes
• 1 x 250g round Camembert cheese

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prep the Cabbage: Peel off 8 large cabbage leaves, trim any tough stalks, and blanch them in salted boiling water for 6 minutes until soft. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
3. Make the Filling: Remove sausage casings and mix sausage meat with the cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into 8 equal portions and shape into logs.
4. Roll the Parcels: Place each portion of filling onto a cabbage leaf, fold the sides over, and roll up tightly.
5. Make the Sauce: Crush the plum tomatoes into a large casserole pan. Add 1/2 a tin of water, season, and bring to a simmer.
6. Bake the Parcels: Place the stuffed cabbage leaves seam-side down in the sauce. Score the Camembert around its edge and nestle it in the center. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. Add Cheese and Finish: Spoon the melted cheese over the parcels and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until golden and bubbling.
8. Serve: Sprinkle with black pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and serve with crusty bread or mash.
