- Prepare the Cabbage:
- Place the savoy cabbage in the freezer for 12 hours or overnight. This makes the leaves soft and easy to use without boiling.
- Thaw the cabbage at room temperature. Once thawed, remove the leaves, cutting away the tough part closest to the core.
- Cook the Rice:
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, cook the rice with 2 cups of water. Once cooked, set it aside to cool. The rice can be made a day ahead and chilled in the refrigerator.
- Sauté the Onions:
- In a skillet, heat the oil or butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onions, cooked rice, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined using your hands.
- Assemble the Cabbage Rolls:
- Take a cabbage leaf and place about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the meat mixture at the bottom of the leaf. Roll up the leaf, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Repeat until all the meat is used.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes.
- Cook the Cabbage Rolls:
- Spray your air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry the cabbage rolls at 320°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato soup, tomato juice, and chicken broth. Once the cabbage rolls are done air frying, pour the sauce evenly over them.
- Final Air Fry:
- Return the cabbage rolls with the sauce to the air fryer and cook at 320°F (160°C) for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Serve the cabbage rolls hot, with the rich tomato sauce poured over them. You can refrigerate or freeze any leftovers and reheat as needed.
