This is a family heirloom recipe that has been handed down through the ages. My mother taught it to me, and I tweaked it to its current form. I have eaten all kinds of 'stuffed' cabbage and this recipe beats them all. It's sweet, sour, and comforting. The flavors are even better the second day. This dish also freezes well.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Stuffed Cabbage Rolls With Sweet and Sour Sauce image

This was adapted from the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. When I read that it included crushed gingersnap cookies and a clove studded onion I just had to try it out. My family was not disappointed in the least. The flavor was worth the extra preparation and ingredients. I served this with an endive and butter lettuce salad topped with blue cheese crumbles and glazed pecans and tossed in a basic red wine vinaigrette for an amazing autumn meal. This is for the adventurous or experienced cook, enjoy!

Time 2h15m

Yield 18 Rolls, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head green cabbage, cored
1/4 cup long-grain white rice
2 onions, grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
2 cups water
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 onion, peeled
8 whole cloves
12 small gingersnaps, pounded into course crumbs
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to boil in large dutch oven over high heat. Add cored cabbage and cook until outer leaves just begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Use tongs to gently remove leaves (outer 20) one by one and transfer to a colander to cool. Remove any remaining head of cabbage and let cool. Do not discard water.
  • Return water to boil over high heat. Add rice and cook until tender, about 13 minutes. Drain the rice through a strainer, rinse it to cool, and let drain thoroughly. In a medium bowl, combine cooked rice, onion, beef, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Trim tough ribs from cabbage leaves and tightly roll 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into each leaf. Shred the remaining blanched cabbage both the head and any remaining leaves.
  • Scatter half the shredded cabbage leaves in a large dutch oven. Arrange rolls seam side down snugly on top of the shredded cabbage. Sprinkle any remaining shredded cabbage on top of rolls.
  • Combine diced tomatoes w/ juice, tomato puree, water (I use water left over from rice) 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pour liquid over cabbage. Stud peeled onion with cloves and submerge in liquid. Bring mixture to boil, then reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Discard clove studded onion. Sprinkle crushed cookies and raisins (if using) into the pot and shake to incorporate them without disturbing rolls. Simmer uncovered until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 hour.
  • If you desire more liquid, add 1 cup of beef broth.
  • Transfer rolls to serving dish and add remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to sauce and season with salt pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over rolls and top with sour cream and chopped parsley if desired.

Yield Makes 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For sauce
1 large onion (1 lb), halved and thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (28- to 32-oz) can whole tomatoes including juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup dried sour cherries
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 lb ground chuck (preferably not lean)
3 tablespoons long-grain rice
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup grated onion
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Cook onion in oil in a 12-inch deep heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, cherries, salt, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, breaking up tomatoes into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Stuff cabbage while sauce simmers:
  • Immerse whole heads of cabbage, 1 at a time if necessary, in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until leaves are tender but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Transfer cabbages with a large slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander. Separate leaves, then cut off and reserve tough stem ends. Discard core. Pat leaves dry with paper towels.
  • Stir together beef, rice, water, onion, salt, and pepper. Spread out 1 large cabbage leaf on a work surface and put 2 tablespoons filling in center. Fold both sides of leaf toward center (over filling), then fold stem over filling and roll tightly into a cylinder. Stuff remaining cabbage leaves in same manner, using less filling for smaller leaves. Chop any unused leaves and reserved stem ends and stir into simmering sauce.
  • Arrange stuffed cabbage rolls, seam sides down, in 1 layer over sauce and simmer, covered, 1 1/2 hours.

This recipe is my grandma's. She made this in her hotel in the Catskill Mountains. It is a treasured family favorite. I serve it with mashed potatoes.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Cabbage

Time 5h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

⅔ cup uncooked white rice
1 cup water
2 heads cabbage, cored
3 pounds ground beef chuck
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
1 onion, sliced
3 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon citric acid powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
½ cup white sugar
1 cup ketchup
½ cup white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Boil the heads of cabbage, one at a time, until softened but still firm, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the ground beef, eggs, cooked rice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup ketchup in a bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Prepare the cabbage leaves by shaving a slice off of the large vein in the center of the leaves so they'll be easier to roll. Place a heaping spoonful of the filling in the center of the leaf. Fold in the left and right edges and roll up the leaf from the bottom, forming a tight cylinder. Secure with toothpicks if necessary. Continue filling and rolling the leaves; save the smaller cabbage leaves and set them aside.
  • Chop the reserved cabbage leaves. Place the chopped cabbage in a large pot. Add the sliced onion, crushed tomatoes, raisins, sour salt (citric acid powder), salt and pepper, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding the additional 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the cabbage rolls into the sauce. Pour the remaining 1 cup of ketchup on top of the rolls. Cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook the rolls for 3 hours, basting the rolls every half hour.

Categories     Beef     Pork     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Dried Fruit     Cabbage     Simmer     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2-pound) head green cabbage, quartered lengthwise and cored
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, divided
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound ground beef chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice
1/3 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Accompaniment: steamed rice

Steps:

  • Place cabbage in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet with broth, 1 garlic clove (sliced), and a rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cook, covered, turning cabbage occasionally, until very tender, about 45 minutes. (Add more broth or water if necessary.)
  • Meanwhile, cook onion and remaining garlic in oil in a heavy medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in ground meats along with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes with their juice, cranberries, vinegar, and brown sugar and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes with spoon, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Pour sauce into skillet with cabbage and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. This will ensure that the cabbage rolls hold their shape during cooking.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves: This process helps to soften the leaves and make them more pliable, making it easier to roll them.
  • Use a flavorful filling: The filling is what makes stuffed cabbage so delicious, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a combination of ground meat, rice, vegetables, and herbs to create a filling that is both flavorful and satisfying.
  • Cook the stuffed cabbage slowly: This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to become tender. Simmer the cabbage rolls in a flavorful sauce for at least 1 hour, or until the cabbage is cooked through.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This adds a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Stuffed cabbage is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people all over the world. With its flavorful filling, tender cabbage leaves, and sweet and sour sauce, it's a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight meal, stuffed cabbage is a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
