Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large cabbage
water
salt
2 tablespoons rice
2 cups milk
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal, may substitue ground sirloin
1 teaspoon salt
5 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, ground
1 medium onion, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef consomme
12 teaspoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Cut the core from a large cabbage and cook in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and remove 24 large outer leaves.
  • Simmer 2 tbsp rice in 2 cups milk for 40 minutes. Cool.
  • Mix 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 lb ground veal or sirloin, and 1 tsp salt. Gradually beat in 5 eggwhites, one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition. Slowly add the rice mixture to make a smooth creamy filling. Stir in 1/4 tsp ground white pepper and 1 medium onion, minced.
