Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Cabbage

Time 5h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

⅔ cup uncooked white rice
1 cup water
2 heads cabbage, cored
3 pounds ground beef chuck
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
1 onion, sliced
3 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon citric acid powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
½ cup white sugar
1 cup ketchup
½ cup white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Boil the heads of cabbage, one at a time, until softened but still firm, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the ground beef, eggs, cooked rice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup ketchup in a bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Prepare the cabbage leaves by shaving a slice off of the large vein in the center of the leaves so they'll be easier to roll. Place a heaping spoonful of the filling in the center of the leaf. Fold in the left and right edges and roll up the leaf from the bottom, forming a tight cylinder. Secure with toothpicks if necessary. Continue filling and rolling the leaves; save the smaller cabbage leaves and set them aside.
  • Chop the reserved cabbage leaves. Place the chopped cabbage in a large pot. Add the sliced onion, crushed tomatoes, raisins, sour salt (citric acid powder), salt and pepper, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding the additional 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the cabbage rolls into the sauce. Pour the remaining 1 cup of ketchup on top of the rolls. Cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook the rolls for 3 hours, basting the rolls every half hour.

GRANDMA ELAINE'S UNSTUFFED SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE



Grandma Elaine's Unstuffed Sweet and Sour Cabbage image

This is a family heirloom recipe that has been handed down through the ages. My mother taught it to me, and I tweaked it to its current form. I have eaten all kinds of 'stuffed' cabbage and this recipe beats them all. It's sweet, sour, and comforting. The flavors are even better the second day. This dish also freezes well.

Time 3h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 onions, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds green cabbage, cored, and cut into 3 inch chunks
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 eggs
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons instant white rice
3 tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup packed brown sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the vegetable oil into a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the sliced onions, and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce, using a spoon to slightly chop the whole tomatoes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the cabbage into the tomatoes. Cover, and simmer 1 hour until the cabbage is tender and mixes easily with the tomatoes.
  • Place the ground beef, eggs, finely chopped onion, rice, water, additional 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix together with hands until thoroughly blended. Add additional rice if mixture is too moist. Form into golf ball-sized meatballs. Place meatballs on a plate, and refrigerate 20 minutes to firm.
  • Place meatballs on the surface of the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer over medium heat until the meatballs are firm and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Gently stir the meatballs into the tomato mixture. Cover the pot and continue to simmer 45 minutes more. Stir in the lemon juice, and taste for seasoning, adding additional lemon juice if required. Stir in the raisins, and honey. Add the brown sugar, a little at a time, tasting after each addition. Cook mixture over medium heat 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect sweet and sour sauce, balance the flavors of sugar, vinegar, and tomato sauce. Use good quality ingredients for the best taste.
  • When choosing mustard cabbage, look for firm, tightly packed leaves with no signs of wilting or bruising. Fresh, young mustard cabbage will have a sweeter, milder flavor.
  • To blanch the mustard cabbage leaves, immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, then immediately transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help preserve the vibrant green color of the leaves.
  • When stuffing the mustard cabbage leaves, be careful not to overfill them, as they will expand during cooking. Leave some space at the top of each leaf to allow for expansion.
  • To ensure even cooking, arrange the stuffed mustard cabbage rolls in a single layer in a baking dish or steamer.
  • Serve the sweet and sour stuffed mustard cabbage rolls hot, drizzled with the delicious sweet and sour sauce. You can garnish them with chopped green onions or cilantro for an extra touch of flavor.
