2. We now prepare the filling. In a bowl we put the mince, the finely chopped onion, the rice (washed), the egg, the parsley, some salt and pepper and mix all the ingredients together.
3. After that we start cutting the leaves of the cabbage. In every leaf we put a teaspoon full of the mince mixture and roll it and fold the edges putting the “dolmades” side by side in the bottom of the saucepan. When the bottom is filled, we put the rest of the stuffed cabbage leaves on them, making a second series and so on.
4. As soon as the leaves finish, we cover the food with a plate inside – out, drop the olive oil, the tomato juice and some water; just all this to cover the food and put it on the electric cooker. The temperature must be slow for an hour.
