Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the pureed tomatoes, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the cabbage leaves in a saucepan of boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a colander. Rinse under cold water, then drain and pat dry.
- Bowls:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle with the paprika and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef and pork and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add the cooked rice, stir, and heat through for about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
- Stir the sour cream into the sauce until completely incorporated. Before serving, divide the meat filling among the cabbage leaves and drizzle each serving with a little sauce.
