CABBAGE ROLLS

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound rice
1 head fresh cabbage, approximately 3 pounds
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
1/2 pound ground pork
Salt
Pepper
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Steam the rice and cabbage head separately. Set the steamed rice aside. Peel off the cabbage leaves to have individual leaves.
  • Add chopped onion, oil, bouillon, and the steamed rice to the ground pork meat. Mix together. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the ground pork mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Wrap each pork ball in a cabbage leaf.
  • Add carrots and celery into the baking pan (vegetables prevent the cabbage from burning onto the bottom of the pan, and also adds an aroma to the rolls) and arrange the cabbage rolls on top.
  • Place the pan into the oven and cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Check if it is thoroughly cooked before removing from the oven.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Look for a head that is heavy for its size.
  • Prepare the cabbage leaves properly: Core the cabbage and blanch the leaves in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them and make them pliable.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Popular options include ground beef, pork, rice, vegetables, and herbs. You can also add cheese, nuts, or dried fruits for extra flavor.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your filling. This is what will give your cabbage rolls their delicious flavor.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: Make sure to roll the cabbage rolls tightly so that they don't fall apart during cooking.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls in a flavorful sauce: Simmer the cabbage rolls in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, broth, and spices. This will help to keep them moist and tender.

Conclusion:

Cabbage rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give cabbage rolls a try!
