I remember whenever nana made these and I was around I would giggle because she had told me what the word Golabki meant. She pronounced it gawumpkey and told me it meant little pigeons. For some reason as a child I found that amusing. No..there are no pigeons involved in the recipe, lol. My Grandma Gerri (German) Used to call...

Put cabbage leaves in a shallow pan and cover with boiling water, allow to soak in water just until leaves are tender (ANOTHER MEMBER, SHELLY WEIRAUCH, SHARED THIS TIP WITH ME AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU:I wanted to share a trick I read elsewhere about working with the cabbage. Freeze the cabbage raw. When it defrosts, the leaves are easily workable and you do not have to worry about burning your fingers. No pre-cooking needed. This worked wonderfully! THANKS SHELLY GOING TO TRY THIS NEXT TIME I MAKE THEM!)

STUFFED CABBAGE



Stuffed Cabbage image

This simple dinner is classic comfort food: boiled cabbage leaves stuffed with a hearty meat and rice filling.

Categories     feed a crowd     winter     comfort food     dinner     main dish     meat

Time 2h

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

15 oz. crushed tomatoes
8 oz. tomato sauce
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. red chili flakes, optional
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 clove of garlic
1 whole head of green cabbage
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1/2 c. chopped onions
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk or cream
1/4 c. breadcrumbs
1 c. cooked rice
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a large bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, red chili flakes (if using), brown sugar, and red wine vinegar. With a microplane, grate the clove of garlic into the sauce and stir well to combine. (Alternatively, you can very finely chop the garlic.)
  • For the filling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut out the core from the base of the cabbage and remove the 1-2 outer leaves. Place the cabbage cut side down into the pot of boiling water. As you see leaves naturally start to separate from the head of cabbage, gently coax the leaf off with a pair of tongs and transfer it to a colander set over a bowl. You will need about 14 cabbage leaves. This process takes about 6-8 minutes. Rinse the leaves with cold water until cool enough to handle. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Place the cabbage leaves on a cutting board and make a V-shaped cut at the bottom of each leaf, to cut out the thickest part of the center rib.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, onion, egg, milk or cream, breadcrumbs, rice, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch-by-13-inch casserole dish. Ladle 1 cup of sauce into the dish and spread all over. Starting with the largest, outer cabbage leaves, lay each cabbage leaf flat. Take about 1/3 cup of filling and roughly shape it into an oval shape, about 4-inches long. (For some of the larger leaves, use up to ½ cup of filling.) Place the oval in the center a cabbage leaf, just above where the rib was cut. Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling and roll up into a little bundle (start rolling at the cut side, over into the uncut side). Place seam side down over top of the sauce in the baking dish. Repeat until each cabbage leaf is used. Drizzle the remainder of the sauce all over.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, if you like.

NANA'S SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE



Nana's Sweet and Sour Cabbage image

The cabbage cooks with the sugar and vinegar to make a nice mellow flavor. My Nana would serve it with potato dumplings and sour bratten. One of my favorite recipes. To make this recipe lighter just substitute the sugar for 1 1/2 times it's amount in Splenda.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves. This will ensure that the cabbage rolls hold together during cooking.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves: Blanching the cabbage leaves makes them more pliable and easier to roll. To blanch the leaves, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly softened. Remove the leaves from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your cabbage rolls. Some popular options include ground beef, pork, turkey, lamb, rice, vegetables, and spices. You can also add a variety of herbs and spices to the filling to taste.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: When rolling the cabbage rolls, be sure to roll them tightly so that they hold together during cooking. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure the rolls if necessary.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls in a flavorful sauce: The sauce you use to cook the cabbage rolls will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the filling you are using.
