Grind the meat with the crustless bread slice and raw onion. Cook rice according to package. Place meat mixture in a bowl with rice, dill, pepper and salt. Finely chop onion and saute in two tablespoons of butter. Mix onions with rice and meat mixture. Mix well. Core the cabbage with a sharp, thin knife and then blanch it with borsh. Then, carefully remove the cabbage leaves one by one, so that they do not tear. Cut larger leaves in 2 or 3 pieces. Then, place a little meat in each cabbage piece and roll in. The smaller the rolls are, the tastier they are. Place a layer of rolls in the pan and cover with a layer of chopped cabbage. Place a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes on top. The last layer must be tomatoes. Add tablespoon of butter, pour the borsh and let simmer on top of the stove for 30 minutes. Then, place in the oven so that the liquid is reduced.
