Time 3h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

16 large cabbage leaves (from a 2-3 lb head of cabbage)
2 onions, chopped
2 teaspoons butter
10 garlic cloves, pressed
2 cups rice (washed, then cooked halfway with 3 tablespoons butter)
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork or 1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sweet basil
1 tablespoon oil or 1 tablespoon lard
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon water
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
30 ounces water (3 3/4 cups)
4 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Cover cabbage leaves with boiling water, let stand until leaves are limp (2-3 minutes); then drain.
  • Fry onions in butter until translucent, then mix with garlic, rice, meat, egg, milk, and seasonings; mix well.
  • In a large dutch oven, prepare zapraška (similar to roux) by melting shortening over medium heat.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it reaches desired brownness (usually light brown or beige).
  • Add a tablespoon of water and stir until smooth.
  • Be very careful when making zapraška as it is very hot and can cause severe burns if it comes in contact with the skin, also avoid the steam that rises when you add the water.
  • Add the tomato sauce, water, and sugar.
  • Mix well and bring to a boil; allow to boil for several minutes.
  • Place 2-3 tablespoons (depending on size of leaf) of meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf; tuck in sides and roll to cover meat.
  • Place, seam side down in pot with sauce.
  • Cook, covered, over low heat for 2-3 hours.

The filling for these cabbage rolls was complete mush. I was having issues getting it to adhere together before cooking. Also the sauce was so thin that it was basically water by the end.

These cabbage rolls were a bit bland for my taste. The filling was a bit dry, and the cabbage leaves were a bit tough. I think I would add more seasoning to the filling next time.
