Does anyone have a good recipe to share? Thanks in advance, salemjan Fri Mar 16 16:35:11 -0700 2007 16884 salemjan 1 2394175 I got this from a Hawai ian cookbook of "local food" Easy, quick and tasty. 1/2# gr beef 1/2# gr pork 3/4 C cooked rice 1 egg, beaten 1/4 C chopped onion (i grate the onion) 1 tsp worcester sauce salt and pepper 12 large cabbage leaves Boil 3 or 4 quarts of water and blanch the cabbage leaves until they are limp and pliable. Mix the remaining ingredients together. Fill the leaves with the stuffing and place seam side down in a baking dish. Mix together 1 can tomato soup with 1 TBS brown sugar and 1 TBS lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the rolls and bake uncovered at 350 for one hour. Baste as needed.

I have finally come to near bliss with a combination of my mom's sauce, and Marthat Stewart's mom recipe!. The sauce is simply condensed tomato soup, one can, and about a half cup ketchup. Here's Martha's recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.fc77a0dbc44dd1611e3bf410b5900aa0/?vgnextoid=343a40ee0c90f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&autonomy_kw=stuffed%20cabbage&rsc=ns2006_m1 I have found the cabbage far easier to stuff and roll if I do not cut out the "vein". I also cover the rolls and allow them to braise, basting two or three times. Cooking time should be increased, to allow the cabbage to become very tender. Bake at 325 for 2.5-3 hours. I also place 3-4 strips of bacon over the rolls before cooking.

Niki Rothman has posted on this and has a great recipe that was her grandmother's IIRC. Maybe a better searcher than I can find it. Sat Mar 17 09:43:36 -0700 2007 2393612 13756 GretchenS 2 2394939 OK this was making me crazy so I googled it (search function on this board is still pretty shaky). First link is Niki Rothamn's recipe, second is some helpful tips she posted, third link is the request I posted with some fantastic responses. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/282215 http://www.chowhound.com/topics/316234?query=cabbage%20rothman http://www.chowhound.com/topics/281310 Sat Mar 17 09:59:39 -0700 2007 2394905 13756 GretchenS 1 2395204 And thank you.........I have golabki (stuffed cabbage) braising away in the oven now. I got inspired by the OP's question and since this may be the last cold weekend for a while, I couldn't resist. Looking forward to dinner....... Sat Mar 17 12:20:51 -0700 2007 2393612 65673 monavano
