GOłąBKI (POLISH STUFFED CABBAGE)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil, and salt it .
- With the help of a sharp paring knife, remove the core from the cabbage by cutting around it. Remove and discard it.
- Carefully place the whole head of cabbage in the boiling water.
- Cover the pot and cook the head of cabbage for 3 minutes, or until softened enough to pull off individual leaves. You'll need 18 leaves in total.
- When leaves are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to cut away the thick center stem from each leaf. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- After retrieving 18 leaves, chop the remaining cabbage and place it in the bottom of a casserole dish with a lid or a Dutch oven .
- Heat up a large skillet, melt the butter, and add the chopped onion. Cook until tender and remove from the heat to let them cool off.
- Mix the cooled onion with the beef, pork, cooked rice, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Don't overmix or the meat will become tough.
- Flatten a cabbage leaf on a cutting board or work surface and place about 1/2 cup of the meat filling.
- Flip the right side of the leaf to the middle, then flip the left side.
- Flip the bottom of the leaf to obtain an envelope-shaped figure. The unstuffed part of the leaf will be triangular in shape.
- Tuck the leaf away from you to encase the meat and make a neat little roll.
- Repeat the process with all the leaves.
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Place the cabbage rolls, seam down, on top of the chopped cabbage in the casserole dish or Dutch oven. Season each layer with salt and pepper.
- Pour the beef stock over the rolls, cover, and place in the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour or until cabbage is tender and meat is cooked.
- Serve with a drizzle of sour cream , or alternatively, mix the pan juices with the sour cream and ladle it over the cabbage rolls. Enjoy.

NANA'S GOLABKI (POLISH STUFFED CABBAGE)
I remember whenever nana made these and I was around I would giggle because she had told me what the word Golabki meant. She pronounced it gawumpkey and told me it meant little pigeons. For some reason as a child I found that amusing. No..there are no pigeons involved in the recipe, lol. My Grandma Gerri (German) Used to call them pigs in the blanket, no idea why lol but regardless of what you call them they are to me a comfort food. To me they symbolize Nana Devine, home cooking and hearing her singing in the kitchen while preparing them. I have seen many recipes for them, but this is my tried and true..Nana's Golabki's

Steps:
- Put cabbage leaves in a shallow pan and cover with boiling water, allow to soak in water just until leaves are tender (ANOTHER MEMBER, SHELLY WEIRAUCH, SHARED THIS TIP WITH ME AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU:I wanted to share a trick I read elsewhere about working with the cabbage. Freeze the cabbage raw. When it defrosts, the leaves are easily workable and you do not have to worry about burning your fingers. No pre-cooking needed. This worked wonderfully! THANKS SHELLY GOING TO TRY THIS NEXT TIME I MAKE THEM!)
- In a large bowl mix all ingredients except cabbage leaves, parmesian cheese and tomato soup until mixed well.
- Using clean hands form meat mixture into oblong rolls and place each one on top of cabbage leaf. (seam side facing down) Over lap sides and ends of leaves over meat, tucking in edges to secure.
- In a baking pan, pour tomato soup plus 1/2 can water for each can of soup. stir to mix water in completely. Add salt pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parmesian cheese to soup and stir till mixed in.
- Arrange stuffed cabbage rolls in baking pan with the folded side down. Sprinkle with additional parmesian
- Cover and bake in 350 preheated oven for about an hour and half or until cooked thru (depends on size of rolls you made) (Baste every 15 or 20 minutes with the tomato soup juice)
- Serve with my garlic mashed potatoes, using the tomato soup sauce as a gravy. Yum soooooooooooo delish!
