Creamy Mushroom Kohlroulade Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 8 large cabbage leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Special equipment needed:
- Large pot
- Skillet
- Baking dish

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.

5. In a bowl, mix together the cooked rice, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Add the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.

6. Lay out the cabbage leaves and divide the mushroom mixture evenly among them. Roll up the leaves, tucking in the sides as you go.

7. Place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the rolls are lightly browned and heated through.
