for rolls:
1 head green cabbage; about 3
2 pounds extra lean ground beef
1 medium peeled and grated potato
1 small chopped onion
2 lightly beaten large eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup water
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper;
for sauce:
1, 16 ounce can tomato sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1, 14 ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon juice; additional *
Combine all sauce ingredients together in a blender/food processor
with metal blade. Pour into a 4 quart oven proof stewing pot and let
simmer over medium heat while you prepare the cabbage balls.
Core the cabbage. Pull off as many leaves as possible until they
become too small to hold filling.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, place the leaves in the water, cover,
turn to simmer, and let cook for 10 minutes until soft.
OR microwave with 1/4 cup water.
Combine ground beef, grated potato, chopped onion, eggs, ketchup,
bread crumbs and 1/2 cup water. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill the cabbage leaves by placing about 1 tablespoon of the meat
mixture in the middle of each leaf.
Fold over the sides and roll the cabbage ball away from you.
Place seam side down in the simmering sauce.
Continue until all the cabbage leaves have been used.
If you have more meat mixture left, roll into balls and add to the sauce.
Cut up remaining small pieces of cabbage and lay evenly over the top.
Add the bay leaf. Check for seasonings. (You may wish to add more
lemon juice, cranberry sauce or brown sugar, according to your taste.)
Cover and simmer,on top of the stove for 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F, for 20 minutes more to brown the top.
NOTES :
Excellent. Lots of extra ground meat made lots of meatballs and cooked in
same pot, freezes well..used ground turkey...can reduce lemon juice...
