Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large whole head green cabbage
1 large whole head red cabbage
4 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt
1 pound thick-sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1 3/4 pounds onions (about 3 medium), thinly sliced
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Using sharp knife, cut deep cone-shaped incision into bottom of each cabbage; remove cores. Bring 4 quarts water and salt to boil in large saucepan. Add whole green cabbage and cook until leaves soften, about 7 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer cabbage to colander and drain, cut side down. Gently pull off 8 leaves. If necessary, boil leaves about 3 minutes longer until leaves are soft enough to bend easily. Trim thick ribs from leaves. Repeat with whole red cabbage.
  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Reduce heat to medium-low. Discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet. Add onions and sauté until tender and just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Add cream, sage and fennel seeds. Simmer over medium heat until cream thickens, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter heavy large baking sheet. Place 1 cabbage leaf on work surface. Spoon scant 1/4 cup onion mixture onto center of leaf. Fold bottom of leaf over filling. Fold in sides. Continue rolling to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining cabbage leaves and onion mixture. Arrange packages seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil. Cover baking sheet with foil. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate.) Bake packages until heated through, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, green cabbage is the best choice as it has a firm texture and can hold the filling well. Look for cabbages that are heavy and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Prepare the cabbage leaves carefully: Blanching the cabbage leaves helps soften them and make them pliable, making it easier to roll and stuff them. Be careful not to overcook the leaves, as they can become too soft and tear easily.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The cabbage pack can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as ground beef, pork, or lamb, as well as rice, vegetables, and spices. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: Tightly rolling the cabbage rolls helps keep the filling secure and prevents it from falling out during cooking. Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the rolls if necessary.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls gently: Simmering the cabbage rolls in a flavorful broth or sauce helps keep them moist and flavorful. Avoid boiling the rolls, as this can make them tough.

Conclusion:

The cabbage pack is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of tender cabbage leaves, savory filling, and flavorful broth, it's a hearty and satisfying meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful dish, give the cabbage pack a try!
