STUFFED CABBAGE WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield about 4 to 6 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 large Savoy cabbage leaves
Kosher salt, as needed
1 3/4 pounds ground beef
1 cup cooked converted rice
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups whole, peeled canned tomatoes (with puree) roughly chopped
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the cabbage rolls: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook, until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the leaves into a colander in the sink and refresh under cold running water. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, place the beef, rice, sour cream, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in the paprika and allspice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the onion mixture to the beef mixture, and mix until well combined. Season with pepper to taste.
  • Lay the cabbage leaves on a work surface and blot dry with paper towels. Slice off the ridged part of the thick rib at the bottom each leaf, creating a level surface over the leaves. Place about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture in the bottom center of each roll. Roll the bottom of a leaf over the beef mixture, fold in the sides, and continue rolling forward until completely closed. Repeat with the remaining leafs. Arrange the rolls seam side-down in a 9-x 13- x 2- inch oval gratin dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes, broth, salt, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and season with pepper to taste. Pour over the cabbage rolls and cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil from the baking dish and continue cooking, basting occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes more. Serve in the gratin dish.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Stuffed Cabbage Rolls With Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 slices white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
1/2 cup milk
3/4 pound ground pork
3/4 pound ground beef
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon cognac or brandy
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head Savoy cabbage
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons cognac or brandy, plus more for finishing
1 28-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Make the cabbage rolls: Combine the bread and milk in a small bowl and soak 5 minutes. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and transfer to a large bowl. Add the pork, beef, parmesan, eggs, parsley, cognac, oregano, garlic, nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix with your hands until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Carefully separate the cabbage leaves (you will need 12 large leaves, or you can use 2 small leaves to make a large one). Working in batches, blanch the leaves until pliable, about 45 seconds, then remove with tongs and transfer to the ice water. Remove from the ice water, shake dry, then layer between paper towels to soak up the excess moisture. Trim the tough center stem from the bottom of each leaf.
  • Shape the meat mixture into twelve 4-inch-long sausages. Lay out a cabbage leaf, then put a sausage on top lengthwise. Fold in the short ends of the leaf, then tightly roll up the leaf like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and sausages. Transfer the rolls to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Fit a large, wide pot with a steamer insert and fill with 2 inches of water; bring the water to a boil. Arrange the cabbage rolls in the steamer insert, cover and reduce the heat to medium low; steam until the filling is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Add the cognac and simmer until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, the oregano and 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until mostly smooth, then return to the pot; thin with up to 1/2 cup hot water, if desired. Season with salt. Bring just to a simmer and stir in a splash of cognac.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls topped with the sauce, parmesan and parsley.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium head cabbage
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
½ pound ground veal
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
1 large egg
2 large cloves garlic, minced

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme, divided
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil, divided
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with tomato puree

Steps:

  • Place cabbage, core-side down, in an 8- to 10-cup microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave on high until outer leaves are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • While the cabbage is cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, pork, veal, rice, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, basil, and oregano; mix until well combined.
  • Remove 12 outer leaves from the cooled cabbage and trim the thick stems to make them easier to roll.
  • Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves and fold in the ends. Place rolls, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a casserole dish.
  • Combine crushed tomatoes with remaining thyme, basil, and oregano and pour over cabbage rolls.
  • Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium head cabbage
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips:

  • Choose a firm head of cabbage for this recipe. A loose or wilted head of cabbage will not hold up well in the cooking process.
  • Cut the cabbage into thin strips for even cooking and better absorption of the tomato sauce.
  • Use a large skillet or pot to cook the cabbage. This will prevent the cabbage from overcrowding and steaming instead of browning.
  • Brown the cabbage in a little bit of oil before adding the tomato sauce. This will help to develop the flavor of the cabbage and prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce for this recipe. A homemade tomato sauce or a high-quality store-bought tomato sauce will work well.
  • Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomato sauce.
  • Serve the cabbage with tomato sauce as a side dish or main course. It can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

Conclusion:

Cabbage with tomato sauce is a simple but flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table.
