Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield about 4 to 6 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 large Savoy cabbage leaves
Kosher salt, as needed
1 3/4 pounds ground beef
1 cup cooked converted rice
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups whole, peeled canned tomatoes (with puree) roughly chopped
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the cabbage rolls: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook, until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the leaves into a colander in the sink and refresh under cold running water. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, place the beef, rice, sour cream, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in the paprika and allspice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the onion mixture to the beef mixture, and mix until well combined. Season with pepper to taste.
  • Lay the cabbage leaves on a work surface and blot dry with paper towels. Slice off the ridged part of the thick rib at the bottom each leaf, creating a level surface over the leaves. Place about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture in the bottom center of each roll. Roll the bottom of a leaf over the beef mixture, fold in the sides, and continue rolling forward until completely closed. Repeat with the remaining leafs. Arrange the rolls seam side-down in a 9-x 13- x 2- inch oval gratin dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes, broth, salt, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and season with pepper to taste. Pour over the cabbage rolls and cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil from the baking dish and continue cooking, basting occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes more. Serve in the gratin dish.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Stuffed Cabbage Rolls With Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 slices white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
1/2 cup milk
3/4 pound ground pork
3/4 pound ground beef
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon cognac or brandy
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head Savoy cabbage
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons cognac or brandy, plus more for finishing
1 28-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Make the cabbage rolls: Combine the bread and milk in a small bowl and soak 5 minutes. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and transfer to a large bowl. Add the pork, beef, parmesan, eggs, parsley, cognac, oregano, garlic, nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix with your hands until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Carefully separate the cabbage leaves (you will need 12 large leaves, or you can use 2 small leaves to make a large one). Working in batches, blanch the leaves until pliable, about 45 seconds, then remove with tongs and transfer to the ice water. Remove from the ice water, shake dry, then layer between paper towels to soak up the excess moisture. Trim the tough center stem from the bottom of each leaf.
  • Shape the meat mixture into twelve 4-inch-long sausages. Lay out a cabbage leaf, then put a sausage on top lengthwise. Fold in the short ends of the leaf, then tightly roll up the leaf like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and sausages. Transfer the rolls to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Fit a large, wide pot with a steamer insert and fill with 2 inches of water; bring the water to a boil. Arrange the cabbage rolls in the steamer insert, cover and reduce the heat to medium low; steam until the filling is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Add the cognac and simmer until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, the oregano and 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until mostly smooth, then return to the pot; thin with up to 1/2 cup hot water, if desired. Season with salt. Bring just to a simmer and stir in a splash of cognac.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls topped with the sauce, parmesan and parsley.

TRADITIONAL CABBAGE ROLLS IN TOMATO CREAM SAUCE



Traditional Cabbage Rolls in Tomato Cream Sauce image

This recipe was passed down from my Mother and it is very good. It was given to her by a first generation Polish friend back in the 60's. Whenever she feels the mood strike her, she sill makes them by the boatload and freezes them separate from the sauce. I've spied this recipe in locations where I had not posted it- some claiming it for their own. I just figure that it shows this recipe really is THAT dang good!

Provided by Brandess

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

9 slices white bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup low-fat milk
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup white rice (I use Uncle Ben's)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large green cabbage
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 cups chicken stock
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • Make the filling for the Stuffed Cabbage Leaves: Place the bread cubes in a small mixing bowl, add the milk and leave the bread to soak until it is completely saturated, approximate 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess milk with your hands; discard the milk and add the soaked bread to a large mixing bowl with the meat, rice, parsley, sage, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate while you prepare the cabbage.
  • Steam the cabbage for 5-10 minutes, until the outermost leaves are pliable. After removing several softened leaves, you will likely need to continue steaming the inner leaves. Peel off at least 12 leaves total. Holding each leaf rib-side up, pare the thick part of the rib to flatten it.
  • Place a small amount of filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, overlapping them slightly. Starting at the stem end, roll up the leaf into a compact bundle. Continue process until all leaves and meat mixture have been used.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Make the sauce: Heat a large Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic; saute until the vegetables are translucent. Add tomato paste and paprika; saute for 3 minutes. Stir in chicken stock, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove 1 cup of the sauce to a measuring cup. Arrange the stuffed cabbage leaves neatly in a single layer over the remaining sauce in the Dutch Oven. If you had more filling than cabbage leaves to fill, use the rest to make meatballs, and tuck them in around the rolls. Pour the 1 cup of reserved sauce over the rolls. Transfer the Dutch Oven to the preheated oven and bake until the bundles are cooked through and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Use a large spoon to transfer the rolls to a platter or storage container. With an immersion blender, puree the sauce together with the sour cream. Serve the cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes or rice to absorb the luscious sauce.

Cabbage leaves stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, pork, and veal and baked in a savory tomato sauce.

Provided by Bren

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Cabbage

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium head cabbage
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
½ pound ground veal
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
1 large egg
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme, divided
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil, divided
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with tomato puree

Steps:

  • Place cabbage, core-side down, in an 8- to 10-cup microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave on high until outer leaves are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • While the cabbage is cooling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, pork, veal, rice, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, basil, and oregano; mix until well combined.
  • Remove 12 outer leaves from the cooled cabbage and trim the thick stems to make them easier to roll.
  • Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves and fold in the ends. Place rolls, seam-sides down, in a single layer in a casserole dish.
  • Combine crushed tomatoes with remaining thyme, basil, and oregano and pour over cabbage rolls.
  • Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, green cabbage is the best choice. It holds its shape well during cooking and has a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large pot: You need a pot that is large enough to hold all of the cabbage and tomato sauce.
  • Season the cabbage well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the cabbage with your favorite sides: Rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes are all good options.

Conclusion:

Cabbage with tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
