Preparation of Savoy Cabbage Roulades with Veggie Mince
1. Prepare the savoy cabbage leaves : Wash the savoy cabbage leaves and blanch them in a large pan of boiling water. Once the leaves are soft, remove them and drain.
2. Fry the veggie mince : Pour hot water over the Lotao veggie mince according to the instructions on the packet and allow to swell. Heat a little butter in a pan and fry the mince until crispy. Add tomato paste and spices (salt, pepper, paprika powder, garlic powder) and mix everything well. Put the mince to one side.
3. Fry the onion and garlic : In the same pan, finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in a little oil until golden brown. Also set aside.
4. Prepare the rice : Wash the short grain rice thoroughly and drain it.
5. Prepare the filling : Mix the fried veggie mince, rice, 400 g of strained tomatoes, fried onions and garlic, and chopped parsley and dill in a bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper and other spices.
6. Roll the roulades : Spread the blanched savoy cabbage leaves out on the work surface and cut off the hard stalk. Place about a tablespoon of the filling on each leaf, fold in the sides and roll the leaf tightly.
7. Put in the oven : Place the filled roulades in a baking dish. Mix the strained tomatoes from the tin with a little hot water and pour over the roulades until they are well covered.
8. Baking : Place the baking dish in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius and bake the roulades for about 30 minutes, until the rice in the filling is cooked.
9. Serve and enjoy : Remove the finished roulades from the oven and serve with mashed potatoes or a side dish of your choice.

Further tips:
Alternative fillings : Try the roulades with other fillings, such as a mixture of quinoa or couscous instead of rice, to give the dish a new twist.
