Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cabbage head
1 lb Ground Chuck
1 lb Ground Italian Sausage
1/2 lb cooked and crumbled bacon
A med to large white onion chopped
An egg
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 Family size can Tomato Soup (I prefer Campbells)
3 oz tomato paste
pinch of sugar
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1 tbs pepper (adjust to taste)
3 cups White Vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put cabbage head in a large stock pot, add water to cover and then add white vinegar to the water.
  • Place on stove on high heat and cover, bringing to a boil.
  • Gently boil cabbage until leaves of cabbage soften and become pliable.
  • Remove from stove and drain water from the pot. Set aside and allow cabbage head to cool.
  • Once cabbage is cooled, remove the leafs from the cabbage head. Take a paring knife and cut the lower portion of the "vein" from the leaf. This vein is very tough and needs to be removed. It will make it much easier to roll the meat mixture in the cabbage leaf. Continue to do this until you remove as many leaves from the cabbage as you can.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine ground chuck, sausage, crumbled bacon, chopped onion, egg, rice, bread crumbs and finally add the salt and pepper. Make certain to thoroughly combine the ingredients together. The "meat" mixture will be a similar consistency to meatloaf. It should be nice and moist. If it seems dry, add an additional egg.
  • Lay a cabbage leaf down on a flat surface thus allowing you to roll it easier. Take some of the meat mixture and form into a large meatball. You may make these as large or as small as you prefer therefore choose the size of your preference. Place the meatball in the center of the cabbage leaf. Wrap the cabbage leaf around the meat mixture (see video above).
  • Place the stuffed cabbage in a roaster with the wrapped edges down in the roaster. Repeat this process placing the Golumpki next to each other, until all of the meat mixture is used up.
  • Mix tomato soup, tomato paste and also a pinch of sugar.
  • Pour tomato soup mixture over the top of the stuffed cabbage and reserve a small amount to be used in the next step.
  • If you have cabbage leaves remaining, cover the entire top of the stuffed cabbage in the roaster.
  • Pour remaining tomato soup mixture on top of the cabbage that you lined the tops of the stuffed cabbage. This step will help steam the Golumpki that lies below and therefore will keep them nice and moist.
  • Put a lid on top of the roaster and bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours.

HALUPKI (STUFFED CABBAGE)



Halupki (Stuffed Cabbage) image

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!

Tips

  • Choose the right cabbage: Look for a head of cabbage that is firm and heavy for its size. The leaves should be tightly packed and have a deep green color.
  • Prepare the cabbage leaves: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard them. Cut the cabbage in half from top to bottom, then cut each half into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter. Place the cabbage quarters in the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are softened but still slightly firm.
  • Make the filling: While the cabbage leaves are cooking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, beef, rice, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Assemble the cabbage rolls: Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Place a scoop of the filling in the center of the leaf. Fold the bottom of the leaf up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the leaf up tightly, starting from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls: Place the cabbage rolls in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the cabbage rolls are cooked through.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls: Serve the cabbage rolls hot, with additional tomato sauce and sour cream, if desired.
