Recipe Introduction
I have been making this since I was first married as it came from my Mother's recipe box.
We had these for dinner last night, a batch I had in the freezer.
also known as Pigs in the Blanket, Halupki and Galumpki!
List of Ingredients
1 lb. ground chuck, (sirloin, round, etc.)
1/2 lb. ground pork
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3/4 cup UNCOOKED Minute Rice (or 3/4 cup cooked rice is OK)
1 small minced onion
2 (8 oz.) cns tomto sauce
1 egg
one head cabbage
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice or vinegar Recipe
Boil head of cabbage in salted water. Peel outer leaves off as they
become tender. (I find it helps if you cut around the core
as much as possible before
starting.) Meanwhile, combine meats, egg, salt, pepper, rice, onion and
ONE can of tomato sauce. Place equal portions of
meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf. Roll up leaves, tucking
ends securely. Fasten with toothpicks or tie with string.
(At this point, rolled cabbage leaves can be browned in oil if desired -
I NEVER do.) Arrange rolls in baking dish. mix
remaining can of sauce with brown sugar and lemon juice or vinegar. Pour
over cabbage rolls. Bake at 325 for 30 - 40
minutes, basting occasionally.
Tips:
I rarely use ground pork in my recipe (it's just something that I don't
buy often and I always have ground beef in the house).
You can use all beef, veal or any combination you like.
I find that 1/4 cup brown sugar makes the sauce a little too sweet for
me. I
suggest the first time you make it, to use a little less and add more if
it isn't sweet enough for you.
