3. Hearty Cabbage Rolls in Tomato Sauce (Golabki/Holishkes)
Tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a savory filling of ground meat and rice, simmered or baked in a slightly sweet and tangy tomato sauce.
Recipe:
Ingredient Amount
Large Head of Green Cabbage 1
Lean Ground Beef (or mix w/pork) 1 lb
Cooked Rice $1/2$ cup
Onion, chopped $1/4$ cup
Egg, beaten 1
Tomato Sauce (plain, canned) 2 (15 oz) cans
Brown Sugar 2 tbsp
White Vinegar (or Lemon Juice) 2 tbsp
Salt and Pepper To taste
Instructions:
Prepare Cabbage: Remove the core from the cabbage head. Boil the whole head in a large pot of water until the outer leaves soften (about 3-5 minutes). Carefully peel off 10-12 tender leaves, returning the head to the boiling water as needed to loosen more leaves. Use a paring knife to carefully cut out the thick stem from each leaf.
Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll the Cabbage: Lay a cabbage leaf flat. Place $1/4$ cup of the meat mixture near the stem end. Fold in the sides, then roll the leaf up tightly from the bottom (like a burrito). Place rolls seam-side down in a prepared baking dish.
