Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
This is a family favorite recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls. It's been handed down through generations. I recommend making a big pot of pigs in the blanket (as they are sometimes referred to as), they freeze well, too.
Ingredients:
1 (3-lb.) head green cabbage
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 small onion, chopped
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground pork
1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups Beef Broth or bouillon
1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cooking Instructions:
With a sharp knife, remove core from cabbage. Carefully remove wilted or decayed outer cabbage leaves; discard. In a large saucepan, boil enough salted water to cover cabbage. Immerse cabbage in boiling water. Cook over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes. With fork or tongs, gently remove leaves as they become tender. Drain well; let cool. Trim main leaf stems.
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a small skillet. Add onion; saute over medium heat until golden brown. In a large bowl, combine sauteed onion, beef, pork, rice, salt and pepper.
Spread a cabbage leaf flat. Depending on leaf size, place 2 to 3 tablespoons filling on cabbage leaf near base. Fold bottom of leaf over filling, then fold sides toward center. Roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tilling and cabbage leaves.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a large skillet. Place filled cabbage leaves, seam down, in skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once with a spatula.
Arrange cabbage rolls, seam-side down, in a medium roasting pan. Add 3 cups broth or bouillon. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup broth or bouillon and tomato paste. Pour over stuffed cabbage. Cover and bake 40 minutes or until fork-tender.
In a small skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Stir flour into butter or margarine until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown. Ladle 1 cup broth or bouillon from stuffed cabbage into flour mixture; blend. Pour mixture over stuffed cabbage.
Cook, uncovered, until liquid bubbles and thickens slightly. Place stuffed cabbage on a large platter. Pour pan juices into a serving bowl. Serve hot with pan juices.
Yields: 10 to 12 servings
