Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 large head green cabbage (1 1/2 pounds), cored
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced small
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup cooked long-grain white rice
1/2 pound ground beef chuck

Steps:

Spread 1 cup tomato sauce on top of shredded cabbage in dish.
  • To bowl with onion mixture, add rice, ground beef, and egg and season with salt and pepper. With your hands, mix well, then divide into 8 portions. Working with a few leaves at a time, lay cabbage on a work surface, overlapping smaller leaves to form one larger leaf if necessary. Place a portion of beef in the center of each. Fold bottom half of cabbage over filling, then fold in sides and roll up tightly. Transfer cabbage rolls, seam side down, to baking dish.

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb ground beef
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ cup white rice, uncooked medium grain
1 green cabbage, core removed
sour cream, for serving
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering, then cook the garlic until fragrant, for 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the crushed tomato, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, rice, and 1 cup (260 G) of tomato sauce. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cabbage, cut side down. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the cabbage to a cutting board, cut side up, and let cool until it reaches room temperature.
  • Peel off a layer of the cabbage. With the stem facing upwards, use a paring knife to trim the thicker stem, which will make the leaf easier to roll. With the stem side pointed towards you, place a few tablespoons of filling at the base of the leaf.
  • Roll upwards so the filling is covered by a single layer of the cabbage. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up.
  • Place the cabbage roll seam side down in a 9x13-inch (23x33 -cm) baking dish and repeat with the remaining filling.
  • Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

HALUPKI (STUFFED CABBAGE)



Halupki (Stuffed Cabbage) image

Halupki, also known as stuffed cabbage on the Russian/Ukranian side of my family, is a dish made of rice, beef, and pork encased in cabbage drizzled with a thin, sweet tomato sauce. My grandma Eugenia is 98 and she taught me how to make this comfort food classic. Every family has their own twist on this traditional dish. I hope you enjoy these with mashed potatoes just as we always do in my family!

JACQUES' STUFFED CABBAGE



Jacques' Stuffed Cabbage image

Let me tell you what I went through to get this recipe. Grrrr. DH saw it on an episode of Jacques Pepin and Julia Child Cooking at Home. It was episode #116 Winter Vegetables. I searched and searched and searched the internet for the recipe, to no avail. The book is available, but what if the recipe is not in the book? By the way, no one else seems to make it as a whole stuffed cabbage, rather than cabbage rolls, for some reason. I posted a query in the forums, but unfortunately, no one had the recipe or the book. Oh wait! Duh! I found the book in my public library. Yay libraries! Now I know why my sister is a librarian. But she can't cook. Oh well. I altered the recipe a bit because I could not find a savoy cabbage that was 3 pounds. I also added coriander, which will be optional.

Provided by threeovens

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 4h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 lbs savoy cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 tablespoon garlic clove, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 1/4 cups cooked rice
3/4 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup celery, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 cup carrot, cut into 1/2 inch dice
3 cups tomatoes, drained and chopped (canned)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Remove the 12 outermost leaves from the cabbage; blanch for a few minutes in boiling, salted water to soften.
  • Rinse blanched leaves in cold water, then drain, and let dry; cut out a v-shaped "notch" to remove some of the tough rib of each leaf, set aside.
  • Core remainder of cabbage and chop inner leaves into 1 inch pieces so that you have about 2 cups; wash and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat; add onion and celery and saute, while tossing and stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cabbage, cook another minute or so while tossing and stirring.
  • Season with salt, pepper, caraway, and coriander, if using.
  • Pour in stock, cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates and vegetables are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes (if too much liquid remains, simply remove cover and continue cooking).
  • Remove vegetables to a mixing bowl and allow to cool; add cooked rice and ground beef, mix well (with hands).
  • Be sure mixture is well seasoned as this is the stuffing (to test, fry a small amount in butter to taste seasonings).
  • To make the sauce, set a casserole, or other oven proof pot, on the stove top and heat over medium high heat; add oil, onion, celery, and carrots.
  • Saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bay leaves; cover and simmer on low while you stuff the cabbage.
  • Okay, now the fun part, stuffing the cabbage (this is a Jacques Pepin exclusive method that Julia Child found utterly charming and much easier than the traditional method): Lay a large square of aluminum foil flat on your work surface.
  • Place the four largest cabbage leaves on the foil; they should overlap and form a circle with the "notch" on the outside of the circle.
  • Spread 1/3 of the stuffing on top, leaving about a 2 or 3 inch margin all around.
  • Repeat using the next largest leaves and another 1/3 of the stuffing; then layer with the smallest leaves and remainder of the stuffing.
  • Now you are going to use the foil to reshape the cabbage into it's original ball shape, no, seriously.
  • Lift the corners and outside edges of the foil, and bring toward the center, so that the bottom layers of cabbage come up and sort of cover the smaller leaf layers.
  • Keep pressing and forming into a ball, you will have a small opening at the top of the foil.
  • Pour wine and stock into the casserole with the sauce; invert the cabbage ball and place into the sauce with the opening DOWN.
  • Bring to a boil, over high heat, cover and place in center of preheated oven.
  • Cook 2 hours.
  • Once done, remove cabbage to a serving platter; this can be accomplished, heh heh heh, with one of those wire pasta thingys, or a heavy spatula (the opening should still be down).
  • Pierce the foil and gently remove, from around and under, without disturbing the shape of the cabbage.
  • Cut into wedges to serve; spoon sauce over or serve on side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just cabbage leaves. You can also use kale, collard greens, or Swiss chard. And don't forget about the other vegetables in the filling, such as onions, carrots, and celery. The more variety, the better the flavor.
  • Season the meat and rice filling generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help the filling to taste flavorful and juicy.
  • Cook the cabbage leaves until they are tender: You can do this by boiling them in water or steaming them. If the leaves are too tough, they will be difficult to roll and will not cook evenly.
  • Roll the cabbage leaves tightly: This will help to keep the filling inside the leaves and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Cook the stuffed cabbage rolls over low heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the stuffed cabbage rolls with a flavorful sauce: This could be a simple tomato sauce, a creamy mushroom sauce, or a tangy yogurt sauce.

Conclusion:

Stuffed cabbage rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different ways to make them, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will love.
