Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large head cabbage, cored
1 tsp oil
1 1/2-2 lb ground beef
1/2 c cooked rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c diced onion
1 egg
SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
1 can(s) (16 ounce) diced tomatoes
1 can(s) ( 8 ounce) tomato puree
1 c water
1/4 c diced onion
1/3 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
6 gingersnaps, crumbled
1/3 c golden raisins (optional)
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onions until golden.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the egg, cooked rice, salt and pepper Add the sauteed onions to the beef mixture and mix well. Set aside.
  • 3. Core the cabbage and separate into leaves. Place the leaves into a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes. Drain and cool the leaves until they can be easily handled.
  • 4. Trim tough ribs from cabbage leaves. Place about 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture on a leaf. Fold the edges toward the center and roll up. Repeat until all the leaves are used.
  • 5. Place the rolls in a large pot with the edges down, piling one on top of another, and separating them with a few of the small cabbage leaves.
  • 6. SAUCE: In a saucepan, combine the tomatoes, tomato puree, water, onions, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, gingersnaps, raisins and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, then taste and adjust the the sweet and sour to your liking. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, cover and cook gently on top of the stove for 2 - 1/2- 3 hours.

I added a little bit of chili powder to the sauce and it gave it a really nice flavor.

I'm not a fan of ground beef, so I used ground turkey in these cabbage rolls. They turned out great!

These cabbage rolls were a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little less vinegar next time.
