UKRAINIAN BEET GREEN CABBAGE ROLLS



Ukrainian Beet Green Cabbage Rolls image

This recipe substitutes beet greens for cabbage leaves to make cabbage rolls. My mother used to make these and always served them with a cream sauce instead of tomato sauce. They are fast and easy to make, as you don't cook the beet greens like you must with cabbage leaves. Serve with rice or noodles.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup milk
6 ounces ground beef
6 ounces ground pork
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
34 large whole beet green leaves, stems removed
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat; allow to cool. Place the bread crumbs into a large bowl; pour the milk over the crumbs. Let stand until the crumbs have absorbed the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked onion, ground beef, ground pork, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 2 large beet leaves; set aside 2 more leaves for the top. Lay remaining beet leaves for filling onto a flat work surface, and place a heaping teaspoon of the meat mixture at the wide end (bottom) of each leaf. Roll the leaf up, enclosing the filling, then place into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling mixture. Pour the chicken broth over the filled rolls, then place the last 2 reserved leaves over the top of the rolls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the beet leaves are tender and the filling is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
  • Remove the dish from the oven, and pour the liquid from the bottom of the baking dish into a small saucepan. Whisk the flour and cream together in a bowl until smooth, and stir the cream mixture gradually into the pan juices. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-low heat, and cook gently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. To serve, arrange the filled rolls in a serving dish and pour the sauce over the rolls. Sprinkle with chopped dill.

Provided by Barbara Rolek

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the Bread Dough:​
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups water (warm, divided)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup milk (warm)
1-ounce butter (melted)
7 1/4 cups ​flour (all-purpose, divided)
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter (melted, or oil)
For the Rolls:
2 bunches beet leaves
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 teaspoon salt
For the Creamy Dill Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour (all-purpose)
1 cup vegetable (or meat broth)
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons dill (chopped, fresh)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, use a fork to combine yeast with 1/4 cup of the warm water and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together milk, the remaining 2 cups warm water, 1 ounce melted butter, and yeast mixture.
  • Add 4 cups of the flour and mix just until well combined.
  • Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  • Punch dough down and transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, if desired.
  • Add beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon salt, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and remaining 3 1/4 cups flour.
  • Knead until dough is smooth.
  • Smear top with melted butter or oil.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled (about 1 to 2 hours).
  • Meanwhile, wash the beet leaves.
  • Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds or until pliable (especially if using mature leaves).
  • Remove from water and shock with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let drain.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • When the dough has doubled, punch it down.
  • Take a walnut-sized piece of dough, elongating it to a rectangular shape.
  • Place it on a beet leaf.
  • Roll up loosely, as you would for cabbage rolls, except leave the sides open to allow for the dough to expand as it rises and then bakes. If you like larger rolls, use more bread dough but, remember, it will grow.
  • Line the bottom and sides of a Dutch oven or other large pot with beet leaves.
  • Place a layer of beet rolls in the bottom.
  • Brush with melted butter or other fat and salt.
  • Repeat layering, ending with melted butter or fat and salt on top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled (about 1 to 2 hours).
  • Heat oven to 350 F. When holubtsi have risen, remove the plastic wrap and cover with a layer of beet leaves and a tight-fitting lid whose inside has been brushed with butter or fat.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour and serve hot with creamy dill sauce.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the sauce by melting 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons flour and cook until mixture bubbles.
  • Add broth and, whisking constantly, bring to a slow boil. Cook until thickened, whisking frequently.
  • Place sour cream in a heatproof bowl and temper by adding and whisking 1 or 2 small ladles of thickened broth mixture.
  • Then add tempered sour cream back into the sauce, whisking until smooth.
  • Add 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose tender beet leaves: Select young, tender beet leaves for the best flavor and texture. Avoid leaves that are wilted or tough.
  • Blanch the beet leaves: Blanching the beet leaves helps to soften them and make them more pliable for rolling. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the beet leaves into the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are wilted. Immediately transfer the beet leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to get creative with the fillings for your beet leaf roll-ups. Some popular options include rice, lentils, beans, vegetables, and cheese. You can also add herbs, spices, and sauces to taste.
  • Roll the beet leaves tightly: When rolling the beet leaves, make sure to roll them tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure the rolls.
  • Cook the beet leaf roll-ups thoroughly: Cook the beet leaf roll-ups until they are heated through and the filling is cooked. This will vary depending on the filling you are using. You can bake, pan-fry, or steam the roll-ups, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:

Beet leaf roll-ups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are a great way to use up beet leaves, which are often discarded.
