My family recipe is plain cabbage rolls. Mix some sauted onions in with the rice, salt and pepper and roll in cabbage leaves. Dh's family recipe is different, probably more what you are looking for. I've made them lots and are good.
Cabbage Rolls
Large head of cabbage
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked regular or processed white rice
1 small onion, grated
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 large onion, sliced
2 - 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
2 - 13 oz. (7 cups) canned tomatoes
Juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 - 1 cup brown sugar, packed
Remove 12 large leaves from cabbage. Trim off thick part of each leaf. Let boiling water stand on leaves a few minutes so they become easy to roll.
Combine meat, rice, grated onion, eggs, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper. Place mound of meat mixture in cup part of each leaf. Loosely fold over sides of each leaf; roll up.
Start heating oven to 375°F. In bottom of Dutch oven, place a few of remaining cabbage leaves. Arrange layers of stuffed cabbage, with seam sides down and sliced onion in Dutch oven. Mix tomato sauce, tomatoes, lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper and pour over all. Sprinkle with brown sugar to taste.
Bake, covered, 1 hour; uncover; bake 2 hours.
Makes 8 servings.
Keep a place apart, within your heart, for little dreams to go! |

This is a family recipe I grew up eating all the time. I'll have to ask my Grandmom for the recipe. I now make a vegatarian version and gave up trying to stuff the cabbage and instead just throw it all in one pot. Lazy way.

Here's a hint...after years of owie fingers from steaming off cabbage leaves, I now just pop a couple of my largest cabbages into the freezer in the fall. When it comes time to make cabbage rolls, just bring them out and thaw them and the leaves just peel right off. Works great and once cooked, you'd never know they'd been frozen.
I mix half ground beef with half ground pork (both lean). Personally I think it gives it just a little nicer flavor. I then put in the uncooked rice (the amount can vary according to taste...if you like meatier rolls, add less rice), garlic of course, chopped onion and just enough tomato juice to make it easy to work with. Roll them up and place in a casserole dish. Cover with tomato juice and cook slowly until done. Keeping adding tomato juice as needed so they don't dry out. |

I basically live across from a Ukranian church. In the fall they had a rummage sale and they were also selling homemade cabbage rolls and perogies. I had to buy both! The cabbage rolls were to DIE for! I was in foodie esctasy as I snarfed them down! And the perogies! SO GOOD! Now I regret not stocking up!
Oh, a question about adding rice: My mom, back when she made cabbage rolls, always used cooked rice. Is that okay, or uncooked better? And what type of uncooked rice?

Hi Catherine...I used uncooked, long-grain organic white rice although I would think you could use any rice. It does absorb some moisture from the rolls, but at the same time, absorbs the flavor. I just add more tomato juice as they cook and I personally prefer the Heinz variety.
I've never tried brown rice...it would be healthier I suppose, but the cooking time is considerably longer. Anyone else ever tried brown rice??
Happy roll making! |
