HALUPKI (STUFFED CABBAGE)
Halupki, also known as stuffed cabbage on the Russian/Ukranian side of my family, is a dish made of rice, beef, and pork encased in cabbage drizzled with a thin, sweet tomato sauce. My grandma Eugenia is 98 and she taught me how to make this comfort food classic. Every family has their own twist on this traditional dish. I hope you enjoy these with mashed potatoes just as we always do in my family!

AUTHENTIC HALUPKI (CABBAGE ROLLS)
I spent my childhood going to Polish Festivals in the "Coal Region" of PA. The food was legendary, & above all else, I looked forward to halupki -- cabbage rolls. Oh, what a treat! When I started cooking on my own, I took making halupki up with a great passion. Mine never were as good as the little old Polish ladies at the...

Steps:
- 1. After cabbage cooks, allow it to cool a bit so you can handle. You will be tearing off the leaves to use as the base for this dish. I tear all my leaves off before mixing my meats to get a little assembly line ready.
- 2. Mix ground beef & pork together. (I was taught to use my hands, NEVER a spoon.) Salt & pepper the meat generously and mix. Add about 2 TBS of paprika & garlic powder & mix.
- 3. Now add the eggs & mix well. Add the juice from the sauerkraut, about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce, onions (I saute my onions in about 2 tsps of shortening until they are nice & brown), and rice. Mix and mix and mix well.
- 4. Pour the rest of the tomato sauce in the bottom of your crockpot (you will need one very large one or 2 smaller).
- 5. Form oval type meatballs for each cabbage leaf. Place the meat in the cabbage leaf, and then gently roll up & tuck underneath, as needed. If it is your first time making them, you may want to use toothpicks to hold each roll together until you get the hang of working w/ the cabbage.
- 6. Begin layering the cabbage rolls on top of the sauce, then some kraut, then some crushed tomatoes. Continue layering. I add ground black pepper in between. I also tuck in any of the cabbage leaves that have torn or are not good for rolling in between the layers.
- 7. Top with crushed tomatoes & cook in crockpot for about 10 hours. And, enjoy! I always serve with mashed potatoes. YUMMMY!!!!
Tips:
- Use fresh cabbage leaves. Fresh cabbage leaves are more pliable and easier to roll than older leaves. If you can't find fresh cabbage leaves, you can use frozen cabbage leaves. Just thaw them out completely before using.
- Blanch the cabbage leaves before filling them. Blanching the cabbage leaves helps to soften them and make them more pliable. To blanch the cabbage leaves, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Remove the cabbage leaves from the water and place them in a colander to drain.
- Use a variety of fillings. Halupki can be filled with a variety of fillings, including rice, meat, vegetables, and cheese. Be creative and experiment with different fillings to find your favorite combination.
- Roll the halupki tightly. Rolling the halupki tightly helps to keep the filling inside and prevent the halupki from falling apart. To roll the halupki, place about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold the bottom of the leaf up over the filling, then fold the sides of the leaf in. Continue rolling the leaf until it is completely wrapped around the filling.
- Cook the halupki in a slow cooker. Cooking the halupki in a slow cooker is the easiest way to make them. Simply place the halupki in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the cabbage leaves are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Halupki is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and meat, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. If you have never tried halupki before, I encourage you to give it a try. You might just be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
