Cabbage Rolls Everyone (except True Gastrophobes) Loves
- 1 large green cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 -3 onions (diced)
- garlic, minced (lots)
- uncooked rice (not sure how much just add until it looks right!)
- thyme
- salt and pepper
- 1 liter sauerkraut
- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato soup
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 3 dashes ketchup
- 3 dashes hot sauce (optional)
- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- olive oil
- Cut the core from the cabbage.
- Place the cabbage in a large pot of boiling water.
- Remove outer leaves as they become soft.
- (Alternatively, you can remove the core from the cabbage and freeze the cabbage overnight, let it thaw and remove the now soft leaves...but who plans that far ahead?
- ).
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together: the beef, pork, 1/2 of the onion, 1/2 the garlic, rice, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Roll a few tablespoons of this mixture in each of the softened cabbage leaves.
- Place rolls, seam side down, in a large, deep baking dish.
- (Make sure you dont use a shallow dish or it will overflow!
- ).
- In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until aromatic.
- Add all of the canned tomato stuff and hot sauce.
- Add 2 tablespoons (okay -- this amount is a guess...use your best judgement) thyme and some salt and pepper.
- Bring sauce to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Allow to simmer.
- Spread the sauerkraut over the cabbage rolls in an even layer.
- I dont recommend adding all of the liquid in the kraut but some of it is okay.
- Pour the sauce over the sauerkraut and bake in a 350 degree oven forever or for a few hours, whatever comes first.
- Make sure they dont dry out.
- If they start to, add a can of tomato sauce over the top and reduce heat.
