Discard limp and blemished outside leaves of cabbage and cut the top off level. This piece forms the "lid". Hollow out the inside carefully without damaging the sides.

For the filling, saute onion and garlic in heated cooking oil until transparent. Add meat and saute until it changes colour. Add seasoning, tomato paste, parsley and 100 ml stock. Allow filling to cool off slightly, then spoon into hollowed out cabbage. Replace 'lid" and tie cabbage with string to hold it together.

Grease the pot with butter. Mix remianing stock with breadcrumbs and cheese anc cover pot. Simmer slowly for 20-30 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Remove string ans serve.
