Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Cabbage

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
4 cups water
2 large heads savoy cabbage
1 cup water
2 onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
½ pound pork sausage
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 (26 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
8 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Wash rice thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups rice and 4 cups water. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed.
  • In the meantime, remove the core from the cabbages using a thin, long knife. Place 1 cabbage in a microwave proof container with a lid with core side down. Pour 1/2 cup water into the container with the cabbage, cover and microwave on HIGH (full power) for 10 minutes. Carefully turn cabbage over and cook covered for an additional 10 minutes. When cabbage is cooked, let sit until it is cool enough to handle. Separate leaves carefully, removing any tough ribs. Cook the second cabbage in the same manner.
  • Divide chopped onions in half. Saute one half of the onions in 3 tablespoons butter; cook just until translucent (do not brown). In a large mixing bowl, mix together both the cooked and uncooked rice, cooked and uncooked onions, ground beef, pork sausage, garlic, dill weed, salt, black pepper and sugar and mix well to blend.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Bring one end of cabbage leaf over mixture, roll and tuck ends in to prevent any filling from falling out.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare two 9x13 inch casserole dishes by placing some left over cabbage leaves in bottom of each. Arrange cabbage rolls in a single layer tight against each other.
  • In a food processor or blender, process condensed tomato soup and tomatoes. Pour tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls until just covered. Place 4 bay leaves on top of sauce in each dish. Cover each dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 2 hours. Once cooked, remove the dishes from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing aluminum foil. Serve hot.

BEEF ROLL-UPS



Beef Roll-Ups image

Don't let its name fool you--these roll-ups are worthy of a special occasion and call for using one of the leaner cuts of beef, top-round steak.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 pounds center-cut top round steak (1 1/2 inches thick), sliced horizontally into 6 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped and 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 pound white mushrooms, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 can (15-ounce) tomato sauce
1/2 cup red wine
Grated Beets, for serving
Buckwheat Groats, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place slices of steak between two pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to an even thickness; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions, and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have released all of their liquid and it has evaporated. Stir in parsley. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Place one piece of steak on work surface. Spoon 1/6 of the filling onto the center of the steak. Sprinkle with 1/6 of the breadcrumbs. Roll up steak to enclose filling. Tie each end with a piece of kitchen twine. Repeat with remaining steak, filling, and breadcrumbs.
  • In the same large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add roll-ups, and cook until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer roll-ups to a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  • In a small saucepan, heat remaining tablespoon butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sliced onions. Cook until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and wine. Cook until heated through. Pour over roll-ups and bake, covered, until tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Remove twine, and serve with grated beets and buckwheat groats.

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb ground beef
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ cup white rice, uncooked medium grain
1 green cabbage, core removed
sour cream, for serving
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering, then cook the garlic until fragrant, for 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the crushed tomato, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, rice, and 1 cup (260 G) of tomato sauce. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cabbage, cut side down. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the cabbage to a cutting board, cut side up, and let cool until it reaches room temperature.
  • Peel off a layer of the cabbage. With the stem facing upwards, use a paring knife to trim the thicker stem, which will make the leaf easier to roll. With the stem side pointed towards you, place a few tablespoons of filling at the base of the leaf.
  • Roll upwards so the filling is covered by a single layer of the cabbage. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up.
  • Place the cabbage roll seam side down in a 9x13-inch (23x33 -cm) baking dish and repeat with the remaining filling.
  • Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, compact cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that are too loose or have wilted leaves.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves: Blanching the cabbage leaves helps soften them and make them pliable, making it easier to roll them up.
  • Use a flavorful ground beef mixture: The ground beef mixture is the heart of the cabbage rolls, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of ground beef, pork, or lamb, and add plenty of herbs, spices, and vegetables.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: To prevent the cabbage rolls from falling apart during cooking, roll them up tightly. Tuck in the sides of the cabbage leaves as you roll to create a compact roll.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid adds flavor to the cabbage rolls, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a combination of broth, tomatoes, and herbs.
  • Simmer the cabbage rolls until tender: Simmer the cabbage rolls for at least 1 hour, or until the cabbage leaves are tender and the ground beef mixture is cooked through.
