Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cloves garlic
1 large onion
6-8 cups cabbage (red or green cabbage will work)
1 lb. ground hamburger (can use turkey, chicken, lamb, or venison)
2 Tbsp. olive oil (split)
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 tsp. smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt (split)
1 tsp. pepper (split)

Steps:

  • Mince 6 cloves of garlic and 1 large onion.
  • Remove and discard the out leaves from 1 head of cabbage. Shred the cabbage with a knife, removing the core (yields about 8 cups of cabbage).
  • Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven to medium and add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add 1 lb. of ground beef (can use ground turkey, chicken, lamb, or venison as well) along with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and pepper to the garlic and onions. Saute the hamburger for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula. Continue until meat is fully cooked through. Add 2 tsp. smoked paprika and 2 tsp. Italian seasoning to the beef. Stir until incorporated.
  • Heat a separate skillet to medium and add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Add 1 1/2 cups of long-grain white rice. Saute the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth (can use vegetable or beef broth) to the rice along with 1 15 oz. can and 1 8 oz. can of tomato sauce. Stir to incorporate. Bring the rice to a light boil and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the rice has softened and all of the liquid has absorbed. Stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent sticking. Remove from heat when finished.*If rice appears to dry out simply add more chicken stock and cook until it reaches desired consistency.
  • While the rice is cooking add 6-8 cups of chopped cabbage to the cooked hamburger along with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Saute the cabbage for 6-8 minutes, stirring often. The cabbage should cook down quite a bit during this process.
  • Add 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce and 2 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir until combined.
  • Add the cooked rice to the cabbage and hamburger mixture. Stir all of the ingredients together until combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.Alternately, you can serve the cabbage/beef mixture on top of the rice.

CABBAGE ROLLS



Cabbage Rolls image

This is a family recipe that goes back more than 80 years. I have made modifications to this recipe to enhance the taste and flavor. These cabbage rolls freeze well.

Provided by William Anatooskin

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Cabbage

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
4 cups water
2 large heads savoy cabbage
1 cup water
2 onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
½ pound pork sausage
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 (26 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
8 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Wash rice thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups rice and 4 cups water. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed.
  • In the meantime, remove the core from the cabbages using a thin, long knife. Place 1 cabbage in a microwave proof container with a lid with core side down. Pour 1/2 cup water into the container with the cabbage, cover and microwave on HIGH (full power) for 10 minutes. Carefully turn cabbage over and cook covered for an additional 10 minutes. When cabbage is cooked, let sit until it is cool enough to handle. Separate leaves carefully, removing any tough ribs. Cook the second cabbage in the same manner.
  • Divide chopped onions in half. Saute one half of the onions in 3 tablespoons butter; cook just until translucent (do not brown). In a large mixing bowl, mix together both the cooked and uncooked rice, cooked and uncooked onions, ground beef, pork sausage, garlic, dill weed, salt, black pepper and sugar and mix well to blend.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Bring one end of cabbage leaf over mixture, roll and tuck ends in to prevent any filling from falling out.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare two 9x13 inch casserole dishes by placing some left over cabbage leaves in bottom of each. Arrange cabbage rolls in a single layer tight against each other.
  • In a food processor or blender, process condensed tomato soup and tomatoes. Pour tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls until just covered. Place 4 bay leaves on top of sauce in each dish. Cover each dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 2 hours. Once cooked, remove the dishes from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing aluminum foil. Serve hot.
