THE BEST CABBAGE ROLLS
**********************************************************
Ingredients
1 head sour cabbage (3 lbs or more)
350 gr ground beef
350 gr ground pork
1/2 cup brown rice
1 chopped large onion
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove and separate cabbage leaves from head.
Cut the thick root on the back of the each leaf because of the easier folding.
Then, wash them in cold water or follow the notice below. (Please do not skip this step.)
Very Important: Immerse all cabbage leaves in cold water for 1/2 hour or longer because you need to wash off the salt so cabbage rolls are not too salty.
FILLING
Mix thoroughly pork and beef ground meat, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 chopped large onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper.
Take one by one cabbage leaf and on each put the meat filling (about 1 TBSP) and roll cabbage rolls and place them in suitable cooking pot.
Practice making the cabbage rolls
Hold one cabbage leaf in your left hand and place a meat filling near stem end.
Fold stem over the meat filling
Fold the two sides to the middle
Roll up.Use your finger to tuck the open side of the leaf inside.
Place in a large pot and say “thank you” to your cabbage rolls.
When your dish is full of cosily placed rolls pour water over all, so the cabbage rolls sinks.
At the beginning cook on a high temperature until water boils.
Then continue cooking at medium temperature for 3 hours.
After 3 hours add can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz) and 1 TBSP of salt. (you can add less or more salt, taste to your liking).
Continue cooking for another 15 min…and then it is ready for you and your family.
It can be lunch or dinner for a few days.
