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 RED CABBAGE ROLLS



Stuffed Red Cabbage Rolls image

One of the many variations of stuffed cabbage, this is my own take on a "gourmet-style" red cabbage roll. Al dente rice adds texture to the overall meal, and cream of mushroom soup prevents the rice from drying out during the cooking process. Top with lemon sauce.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups water
2 ½ cups uncooked brown and wild rice blend
12 leaves red cabbage, or as needed
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, 1/2 of the garlic, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside to rest.
  • At the same time, combine water and remaining minced garlic in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves in the boiling water until tender and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Shock leaves in cold water to prevent further cooking, and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Add condensed soup to cooked rice. Mix in hamburger mixture.
  • Fill cabbage leaves with rice and hamburger mixture, wrapping around the filling to secure. Place each cabbage roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and top with sauerkraut.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cabbage leaves are slightly wilted, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
