Steps

• 1
  Separate the cabbage into leaves, cut out the tougher (core) parts, then place them in enough broth to cover. Once cooked, drain the liquid and let it cool.
• 2
  Peel and dice the onion, then sauté until translucent in lard (or oil). Remove from heat, stir in the paprika, and season with salt.
• 3
  Return to heat, add the minced meat, and sauté over medium heat until it turns white and crumbles. Once softened, season with pepper.
• 4
  Cook the rice until tender in broth, then drain it once cooked and mix it into the minced meat.
• 5
  Thoroughly mix the sour cream with the 2 eggs and a pinch of salt.
• 6
  Spread half of the cabbage leaves on the bottom of a baking dish. Add the minced meat and rice mixture, then spread a little more than half of the sour cream mixture over it.
• 7
  Cover with the other half of the cabbage, and smooth the remaining sour cream over the top.
• 8
  Bake in a preheated oven until the sour cream sets and golden-yellow spots appear on top.
