Title: Question About Cabbage Rolls
Post by: Jerry L. Sowers on January 26, 2005, 06:50:12 PM
Hi All, I have a question and hope you can answer this one. Where will I find or has anyone put Cabbage Rolls in the Kitchen someplace. I love Cabbage Rolls now and I haven't found them. I know that they use some hamburger and I don't know what all, but if I have to I guess I will experiment.

I can't help you, Jerry.  I have eaten them but I have never made them.  I think Stouffer's might have some in the frozen food section, tho!  :)

Cabbage Rolls

2 lb hamburger mean (lean)
1 large can tomatoes (whole)
5 oz can tomato paste
5 oz can water
1 cup rice
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Pinch garlic salt
Salt and pepper
1 large cabbage (with nice firm leaves)

Lightly brown meat and onions.  Add pinch garlic salt, pepper, salt (if desired) and Worcestershire sauce.  Cook rice in separate container till slightly tender.  Combine rice with meat and other ingredients.  (While all this is happening, cook cabbage in separate pot till leaves are soft enough to roll).

Roll meat, etc. into cabbage rolls (not too tight). Layer in pans.  Pour tomatoes, tomato paste and water combined over cabbage rolls.  Cover and cookat 350 deg F for 2 hours.

Hint:  It's a good idea to put a few loose cabbage leaves and a little sauce at the bottom of the pan to prevent rolls from burning on.

There you have it, Jerry.  Ask and you shall receive. 

Sue, is this instant rice or the slow cooked kind?  If slow cooked, can Instant be used?

Sue ~ Thank you. I wonder why no-one thought to post this before. As Etta Sue says  "What about the rice"? I will probably fix this at her house, but I saved it in my Recipe section. I always had a steak when I came in off the road and Helen's  (Ahem) was open and I always stopped to get it, but Bunnie the cook said she had cabbage roll's on the menu. I didn't really care for them, but she said that I would like hers. If I didn't like them she would fix my steak anyway I wanted it and it wouldn't cost me a thing, well, that was a challenge and I like a challenge. Anyway, I paid for those cabbage rolls of Bunnies and have been eating them ever since. ;) 8)

Etta Sue ~ Why didn't I think to ask for this recipe before? My sister Bea and her daughter Chris was suppose to make me some, but I think they forgot to make them because I never got any. ;D 8) ;)

This recipe calls for the long grain rice. 

I have made cabbage rolls with the instant rice as well.

This is basicly what my wife uses

one caveat, the meatballs should not be placed on top, otherwise the rice tends to be crunchy.
