Wash and trim the stems of each beet leaf.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch* leaves for 1 minute. Set aside.
Saute onion in butter until opaque. Add dill and cooked rice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place about 1 Tablespoon rice mixture on each beet leaf. Roll up, tucking in the ends and place in a casserole dish. Continue to roll until all the rice is finished, or there are no more beet leaves.
Pour the cream over rolls and bake at 300˚F for 30 minutes.

Nutrition is based on a serving of 4 small rolls.
*To blanch - place leaves in boiling water for only 1 minute and then remove to ice cold water to stop the cooking process. When ready to roll, drain well, and pat each leaf dry with a paper towel.
If using a large baking dish with only a single layer of rolls, bake for 30 minutes.
If using a smaller dish that has 2 layers of rolls, bake for 45 minutes.
