Cooking method

I put the cabbage in a sealed bag, tied it up, and sent it to the microwave at high power for 9 minutes.
She took it out and took it apart into leaves.
I poured boiling water over the rice and covered it with a lid. Gave it to swell for 30 minutes.
Cut the meat into pieces.
Since these stuffed cabbage rolls had to cook for 12 hours, I did not see the need to dirty the meat grinder, and just cut the meat into small pieces.
I cut the quince into small pieces, poured 1 liter of boiling water over it, covered it tightly and let it brew.
Fried onions and carrots in vegetable oil along with tomato paste.
Minced meat
Drain the rice, do not drain the water from the quince - it will still be useful to us.
We combine rice, quince and meat. Salt and pepper.
And we stuff cabbage leaves with this minced meat.
On 1 sheet, I put 2 tablespoons of minced meat.
I put the finished cabbage rolls in a slow cooker.
Poured 1 liter of water, in which we infused quince.
0.5 liter of kefir, fried.
I added it and put it on a low mode.
My comments.
Set it to cook overnight. They prepared for only 11 hours.

Note

Now is the ripening season for quince, this aromatic fruit.

I was about to try a 12 hour slow cooker, and I thought I'd try to make cabbage rolls. On the net, I looked for recipes for stuffed cabbage, to refresh my memory of how it is done.
And in one of the recipes, I saw the addition of quince to minced meat. I decided to try it.

Not boiled at all, the taste is delicate. Quince is heard well, and gives a slight sourness.
My comments on taste, you can add spice more boldly. Or serve with mayonnaise.
I cooked for the guests. The girls really liked it. Yes, and me too, especially the fact that when you sleep, the pan is cooking.
