1/2 of the sauteed vegetables from the sauce
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 c. cooked rice
2 T. cabbage roll sauce
1 T. hot sauce
1/2 t. salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Cabbage: Fill a large soup pot with water. Add 12-15 large cabbage leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove and let dry. Reserve 1 to 2 cups of the cabbage cooking water. Sauce: heat the olive oil over med-high. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to brown and soften. Remove half of the vegetables from the pan and place in a glass mixing bowl. (This is for the filling.) Back to the skillet, add the tomatoes and wine. Cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, and basil. Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Add more cabbage water if you want a thinner sauce. (I used only 1 cup.) Pour the sauce back in the skillet to keep warm. Filling: Add the ground beef and rice to the bowl with the reserved vegetables. Add 2 T. of the finished cabbage roll sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Use a fork or your clean hands to mix the filling well.

Place a cabbage leaf on the counter top with the inside facing up and put about 1/4 c. of the filling towards the stem end of the leaf. You will have to judge how much filling to use. Just ensure that it isn't so much that it squeezes out the side. Fold in both sides and starting with the stem end, roll the leaf around the filling. Place side-seam down in the dutch oven. repeat the process with the remaining leaves. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, and cover the pot with the lid. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened and the meat is cooked through and no longer pink.

Tips:

  • For the perfect cabbage leaves, choose a head of cabbage that is firm and tightly packed. Remove the outer leaves, then use a sharp knife to cut out the core. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes, or until they are wilted and pliable. Remove the leaves from the water and pat them dry.
  • To make the filling, use a combination of ground beef, rice, vegetables, and herbs. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, then drain off any excess fat. Add the rice, vegetables, and herbs to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender and the rice is cooked through.
  • To assemble the cabbage rolls, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll the leaf up tightly. Secure the roll with a toothpick.
  • To cook the cabbage rolls, place them in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add enough broth or water to cover the rolls, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the cabbage rolls are cooked through.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce, sour cream, or horseradish sauce.
