    Stuffed Cabbage Rolls _#13

    1 green cabbage
    1 pound ( 450 g ) of lean ground beef or ground pork
    ...( I use half of each)
    1 large onions, finely chopped
    1 clove of garlic, chopped fine
    1 hard roll (should be not fresh),
    ...soaked in water, squeezed dry
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon chopped parsley
    salt and pepper to taste
    1 tablespoon of oil
    2-3 cups of beef stock
    1 tablespoon of tomato puree (optional)
    1 tablespoon of flour mixed with water

    Use 8 of the outer leaves of the cabbage, that will make
    2 rolls for each person. If the cabbage leaves are small,
    overlap two small ones to make the surface larger or
    make them very small and make more. Shave off the thick
    part of the the stalk of the leaves to thin them, place
    them in a bowl with boiling water, leave for a few minutes,
    this will soften them, drain, put aside.

    Gently fry the onion and garlic, leave to cool. Mix the
    meat with the bread, egg and season well. Add the cooled
    onion, mix well. Place some of the mixture on a cabbage
    leave and roll the leave around the meat, tie with thin
    kitchen string if you want. I just roll then as you
    would make egg rolls, by rolling them up and folding the
    sides over as you would an envelope.

    Heat the oil in a saucepan and braise the rolled cabbage
    gently on all sides until golden. Add the stock, tomato
    puree and seasoning and bring gently to the boil, cover
    and bake in 325 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes.

    Add the mixed flour and water to the liquid in the dish,
    stirring all the time to prevent lumps. Simmer gently for
    another 1-2 minutes.
    Will serve 4 people.

    notes:
    My mom, ( Mutti's stuffed cabbage leaves), used to
    leave out the tomato puree and, about 20 minutes
    before they were done, added a little flour to some
    sour cream, laid a strip of uncooked bacon along the
    top of each roll, topped that with the sour cream
    mixture and cooked them, uncovered, until the topping
    was golden.
    They were the best cabbage rolls I ever ate!
