CABBAGE ROLLS



Cabbage Rolls image

This is a family recipe that goes back more than 80 years. I have made modifications to this recipe to enhance the taste and flavor. These cabbage rolls freeze well.

Provided by William Anatooskin

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.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS (GALUMPKIS)



Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Galumpkis) image

For an Eastern European classic, make Tyler Florence's Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Galumpkis) from Food Network. They're filled with beef, pork and rice.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Yield about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 1/2 quarts crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Splash dry red wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups steamed white rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large heads green cabbage, about 3 pounds each

Steps:

  • To make the sauce:
  • Coat a 3-quart saucepan with the oil and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and sugar; simmer, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the tomato paste, a splash of wine, parsley, and 1/2 cup of the prepared sweet and sour tomato sauce, mix to incorporate and then take it off the heat. Combine the ground meat in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, the cooked rice, and the sauteed onion mixture. Toss the filling together with your hands to combine, season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the large, damaged outer leaves from the cabbages and set aside. Cut out the cores of the cabbages with a sharp knife and carefully pull off all the rest of the leaves, keeping them whole and as undamaged as possible, (get rid of all the small leaves and use them for coleslaw or whatever.) Blanch the cabbage leaves in the pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, or until pliable. Run the leaves under cool water then lay them out so you can assess just how many blankets you have to wrap up the filling. Next, carefully cut out the center vein from the leaves so they will be easier to roll up. Take the reserved big outer leaves and lay them on the bottom of a casserole pan, let part of the leaves hang out the sides of the pan. This insulation will prevent the cabbage rolls from burning on the bottom when baked. Use all the good looking leaves to make the cabbage rolls. Put about 1/2 cup of the meat filling in the center of the cabbage and starting at what was the stem-end, fold the sides in and roll up the cabbage to enclose the filling. Place the cabbage rolls side by side in rows, seam-side down, in a casserole pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pour the remaining sweet and sour tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls. Fold the hanging leaves over the top to enclose and keep the moisture in. Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 1 hour until the meat is cooked.

BIEROCKS (GERMAN HAMBURGER- AND CABBAGE-FILLED ROLLS)



Bierocks (German Hamburger- and Cabbage-filled rolls) image

This is a staple food in the small Kansas (primarily German-American) town where I was born, and is now a favorite at my house here in Belgium. The recipe comes from my Grandma Rosie. My mother uses a BOX OF HOT ROLL MIX for the roll portion, but as that is not available to me, I have included the hot roll recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook book. Your yield will depend on the size of rolls you make, but I would estimate about 15 to 20. Preparation time includes time for allowing dough to rise (estimated). Don't let the length of the recipe (or my assembly instructions) spook you, it is really very easy and the assembly is fun for kids, too ! In my opinion they are just as tasty cold as warm from the oven.

Provided by FlemishMinx

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 2h30m

Yield 15 Bierocks

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups cabbage, cut fine
1/2 cup onion, cut fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb hamburger
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper (optional)
4 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • FILLING: In a large frying pan, cook the cabbage and onion together until the cabbage is completely softened and golden.
  • This process can be hastened by adding a half-cup of water (or so) and covering the pan, but eventually cook all the liquid off before proceeding.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
  • In a separate pan, brown the hamburger.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
  • Mix the cabbage/onion with the hamburger thoroughly.
  • You may complete this part of the recipe in advance,refrigerating until needed, or just before you are ready to assemble the rolls.
  • DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
  • In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, butter and salt just till warm (115-120 degrees F) and butter is almost melted; stir constantly.
  • Ad to flour mixture; add eggs.
  • Beat at low speed for 1/2 minute, then three minutes at high speed.
  • Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).
  • Shape into a ball, and place in a greased bowl; turn once.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 hour).
  • Punch down and cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  • ASSEMBLY: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, and a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  • Cut into squares of 3 inches by 3 or 4 inches by 4.
  • By the spoonful, place some filling mixture into the center of each square, apportioning all of the mixture among the squares.
  • For each, bring the two opposite corner ends of the dough square up to meet one another, then do the same with remaining ends and pinch them (all 4) together with your fingers.
  • You will see that you now have open slits along the diagnals; pinch these together as well, making a seam of each.
  • Water on your fingertips will facilitate them staying"glued" together.
  • The end product should be a square with a seam running from each corner to the center where all four are joined.
  • Set the squares on a baking sheet (if you had trouble keeping the seams closed, you can flip them over so that the seams are against the baking sheet, thereby keeping all the filling in place and making a nicer presentation).
  • Let raise 30 minutes.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 °F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

BEST STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS



Best Stuffed Cabbage Rolls image

Tender leaves of cabbage are wrapped around a hearty sirloin and rice filling and topped with a homemade tomato sauce in this family-friendly recipe for stuffed cabbage leaves. The hint of allspice and slight tang from vinegar create a perfect balance in this dish. They remind me of eating at a Lebanese food festival, although not quite as spicy. Serve with Greek salad or tabouli salad and warm pita for the perfect bite!

Time 2h

Yield 6

6 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

EASY CABBAGE ROLLS



Easy Cabbage Rolls image

I'm revising the introduction to this recipe based on a discussion with 8 Polish "senior" ladies at the General Sikorski Hall in Oshawa, Ontario who were making cabbage rolls for a weekend banquet. Their advice: Use small, new cabbages as they will be more tender, easier to roll & cook better. Purchase your cabbage in advance, boil it for about 5 minutes, put into the freezer, core and boil again just before you follow this recipe. I use any leftover cabbage in my recipe #50951 for "Polish Cabbage Casserole"!

Provided by CountryLady

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cabbage rolls (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium cabbage
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons chopped onions
1 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the cabbage according to the recipe description.
  • Combine ingredients for filling.
  • Place some of this mixture (about 1 1/2 tbsps) on each cabbage leaf & fold "envelope" fashion. If the leaf is tough, it will be easier to do this if you make a V shaped incision & remove a part of the coarser spine.
  • You may find it easier to roll the cabbage around the filling and just "tuck" the ends into the roll with your fingers - whatever works best for you!
  • Lay flap side down in a heavy Dutch oven.
  • Combine sauce ingredients - use tomato juice if you don't like V8 - or you may add 1 cup of chicken broth to lessen the tomato flavour; pour over cabbage rolls.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Cover and simmer until leaves begin to fall away, about 5 minutes. Remove the 2 outer layers of leaves to a paper towel-lined plate, cover and continue cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove the remaining large leaves to the plate. You will need 8 large and about 7 smaller leaves.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Take 1 cabbage leaf and remove the root end. Place about 1/2 cup of the lamb mixture toward the bottom edge of the cabbage leaf and roll into a log. Repeat with remaining lamb mixture and 7 more large leaves to create 8 cabbage rolls.
  • Line the bottom of a large casserole dish or Dutch oven with 4 or 5 smaller cabbage leaves. Place cabbage rolls on top; season with salt and black pepper. Add bay leaves and tomato puree. Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle 1/2 sliced onion over the top and cover with 3 or 4 more cabbage leaves. Cover casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the lamb is tender and the rice is cooked, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Serve with pan juices poured over the top and garnished with feta cheese and 2 tablespoons parsley.

Provided by John 11-44

Categories     Rice

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-12 rolls, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cooked rice
2 lbs ground beef, raw
1/2 cup onion, minced
1 cup water
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (10 ounce) can tomato juice
1 (10 ounce) can mushroom soup
cabbage

Steps:

  • Take as much core out of the head of cabbage as possible. Place in a microwavable bowl with 1/2 cup of water. Put in microwave. Set for about 10 minutes. Carefully take out of microwave and pull off as many leaves that will come off easily. Repeat process for more leaves.
  • OR.
  • Place head of cabbage in a pot of boiling water. Be very careful taking the head out to take a few leaves off at a time and replacing it back into the water. I use a large serving fork to stab it in the core area.
  • Put your ground beef in a large bowl. Add 2 cups cooked rice, the minced onion, 1 cup of water, salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or double if you like that flavor. Mix with hands. Take a hefty size tablespoon full and place on stem end of a cabbage leaf. Bring each side of leaf over into middle and roll. Place roll in baking dish (sprayed with PAM) with the seam side down. Repeat until all meat is used.
  • Pour your tomato juice into a bowl. Add the mushroom soup and whisk these together until smooth. Pour over top of rolls. An added delicious treat is to place sliced kielbasa around the cabbage rolls if you wish. Cover with foil and bake about 1 1/2 hours on 350 degrees.
  • These are great served with mashed potatoes and peas.
  • They are even better a few days later. You can bake these ahead and put them in the refrigerator 2-3 days. The flavor all comes together.

Cabbage Rolls: A Culinary Journey

Cabbage leaves, stuffed with a delectable mixture of ground meat, rice, and an array of aromatic spices, create a culinary masterpiece known as cabbage roll. This dish has captivated taste buds around the world with its distinct flavors and appealing presentation. As you embark on your culinary journey to prepare cabbage roll, keep these tips in mind:
  • Fine Ingredients for a Flawless Dish: Selecting the right ingredients is paramount to creating an unforgettable cabbage roll experience. Opt for fresh, crisp cabbage leaves, free from blemishes and sturdy enough to withstand the cooking process. Use high-quality ground meat, preferably a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. Long-grain rice, with its distinct texture and ability to absorb flavors, makes an excellent choice for the stuffing. Don't compromise on the spices, as they impart a delectable aroma and depth of flavors to the dish.
  • Preparing the Cabbage Leaves: To ensure the cabbage leaves are pliable and easy to roll, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes. This process softens the leaves, making them more manageable and less prone to tearing. Alternatively, you can microwave the cabbage leaves for a couple of minutes until they are softened.
  • Creating an Enticing Filling: The heart of your cabbage roll lies in the stuffing. Combine ground meat, rice, and a medley of spices, herbs, and蔬菜s. Use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a richer and more flavorful experience. Long-grain rice, with its distinct texture and ability to absorb flavors, makes an excellent choice for the stuffing. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spice blends and add a personal touch to your creation.
  • Rolling and Securing: Once the leaves are blanched and the stuffing prepared, it's time to roll your cabbage roll. Place a spoonful of the stuffing mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the leaf over the stuffing, tucking in the sides to form a tight, secure package. You can secure the roll with a toothpick or kitchen string to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
  • Cooking Methods: Cabbage roll can be prepared using various cooking methods, each imparting a unique texture and flavors. You can simmer them in a flavorful tomato-based or broth-based mixture, slowly braising them until they are fullycooked and the cabbage leaves have softened. Alternatively, you can bake them in an covered dish with a layer of liquid, allowing the cabbage roll to absorb the flavors and cook more evenly.

The combination of succulent ground meat, aromatic rice, and flavorful spices, encased in a blanched cabbage leaf, create a truly unforgettable dish.
