FLOOSH'S STUFFED CABBAGE
Steps:
- Place cored cabbage head in an extra-large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil on the stove. Once boiling, cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, rotating the cabbage occasionally with tongs or a large heat-resistant spoon, until the leaves soften, loosen, and begin to fall off the head. Remove the pot from heat. Carefully remove the cabbage head and leaves from the pot, drain it, and let it cool. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and filling.
- To make the filling: Combine onion, garlic, turkey, ketchup, tomato paste, and sugar in a large bowl. Knead with your hands until the mixture is evenly combined. Set aside.
- To make the sauce: Combine cranberry sauce, jam or preserves, marinara sauce, and salt in a large glass measuring cup, and stir with a whisk or fork until smooth. Set aside.
- Once the cabbage is cool enough to handle, gently remove 14 large leaves. (Refrigerate the rest for another use.)
- Prepare the (empty) extra-large pot used to boil the cabbage by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray. Lay one cabbage leaf on a dry surface and spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of filling into the center of it. Spread filling out slightly and roll the cabbage up around the filling like a burrito, folding the sides in first and then rolling it up from the bottom.
- Place it seam-side down in the pot. Repeat with remaining 13 leaves and remaining filling, gently stacking the rolls in the pot, if needed. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, covering as much of the exposed cabbage as possible.
- Cover the pot and set the stove temperature to low heat. Cook for about 1 hour, until the filling is cooked through.
- Gently remove the cabbage rolls and serve topped with the sauce. Garnish with scallions, if you like!

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.

- Pour the sauce over the stuffed cabbage and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
- Then place the stuffed cabbage in a preheated 300 degree Fahrenheit oven and bake, uncovered, for one half hour more.
- Tip: Another American way to make this dish is to make a sauce of 3/4 cup ketchup, 1- 1/2-2 cups tomato juice, 3/4 cup brown sugar, the juice of 1 large lemon, and sour salt to taste.
- Make this dish ahead.
- It tastes much better the next day.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Select a large, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves. This will make it easier to stuff and prevent the leaves from breaking apart during cooking.
- Blanch the cabbage leaves: Blanching the cabbage leaves in boiling water helps to soften them and make them more pliable, making it easier to roll and stuff them.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your stuffed cabbage. Some popular options include ground beef, pork, turkey, rice, vegetables, and herbs.
- Season the filling well: Season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. This will help to enhance the flavor of the stuffed cabbage.
- Roll the cabbage leaves tightly: Roll the cabbage leaves tightly around the filling to prevent it from falling out during cooking. You can secure the rolls with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Cook the stuffed cabbage slowly: Cook the stuffed cabbage slowly in a covered pot or baking dish to allow the flavors to develop and the cabbage to become tender.
Conclusion:
Stuffed cabbage is a hearty and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying stuffed cabbage dish that will be a hit at your next gathering.
