OLD FASHIONED, AUTHENTIC, HUNKY HALUPKI

Steps:

• Method:.
• - Core and boil the cabbage heads.
• -- remove outer leaves as they become blanched -- do not over-cook.
• -- stack on cookie sheet as they come out of the water - they will continue to soften.
• -- cut thick vein from each leaf.
• - mix together your meat, drained rice, chopped onion, garlic powder, parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and egg.
• -- to sweeten up the meat a bit, I add a good squirt of ketchup (there's only one brand - Heinz) and 1/2 can of tomato soup (you probably don't need this if you use pork - but at least try the ketchup).
• - fill your rolls and roll 'em up -- don't roll too tight - you will be able to tuck in the ends by pushing in with your little finger -- if they're rolled to tight, they'll explode in your hand -- or fold over the ends of the leaf when rolling sort of like a round burrito.
• -- it doesn't take long to do this -- have fun.
• Now for the artistry:.
• - Line the bottom of your roaster with bacon - roaster should be deep enough to add several layers and hold adequate liquid.
• - Top the bacon with a good layer of left-over cabbage leaves -- the ones too small to roll or ripped leaves.
• - layer with sauerkraut.
• - sprinkle a little caraway seeds.
• - layer with thickly sliced onion and chopped garlic.
• - add 6-10 bay leaves, depending on the amount.
• - layer the halupki - alternating direction of layers.
• -- incorporate 2 - 3 inch lengths of kielbasa throughout.
• - add remaining tomato soup if used.
• - add tomatoes and sauce.
• - salt and pepper.
• - add cabbage water to cover.
• Bake at 350 for one hour then reduce heat to 250 for three more hours.
• -- or reduce heat to 175-200 overnight - check to ensure enough liquid - don't dry them out.
• Serve with kick-ass mashed potatoes.
• - roast as much garlic as you would like in the potatoes.
• Cube potatoes and for best results add sea salt and refrigerate for a few hours.
• - rinse and drain potatoes, cover with water and lightly boil until soft.
• Mash together with butter, canned milk, cheddar/freshly grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, white pepper, roasted garlic, jarred diced garlic, a little garlic powder, and grape seed oil.
• Now that's some good ol' Hunky eatin'!
