Method

1
Shred the cabbage. Place the shredded cabbage and water into a large pot.
2
Bring to a boil and let simmer covered until reduced, for about 10 minutes.
3
Finely chop the onions. Brown the onion and minced meat, adding a little butter if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and marjoram.
4
Mix the minced meat and onion mixture, as well as the uncooked rice, into the cabbage.
5
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Add the syrup, cooking cream, and milk.
6
Bake in the lower or middle part of the oven at 175 degrees for about 1 ½ hours. Cover the dish with baking paper or foil if necessary, if the surface starts to brown too much.
7
Serve with sweetened mashed lingonberries.
