Cabbage rolls can vary depending on the origin, the Polish version usually contains meat and rice while the Ukrainian version generally contains only rice.
I use a combination of beef & pork for the best flavor but you can use any type of ground meat for these easy cabbage rolls.
While the tomato soup may not be typical, it softens & sweetens.
Cabbage Rolls instructions
-
Instructions Trim away the thick stalks of the cabbage leaves as needed and reserve; keep the leaves intact. Cut any very large leaves in half. In a large pot of simmering, well-salted water (the water should taste like the ocean), add 3 to 4 cabbage leaves at a time and simmer until just pliable, 3 to 5 minutes; remove gently using a slotted spoon. Set aside to cool. Drain the water from the pot and add the butter. Heat over medium heat until melted, then whisk in the tomato paste.
-
And 2 cups water until smooth. Season with salt, turn off the heat, and reserve. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, onion, and the herbs; season with 3⁄4 teaspoon salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, distribute the cabbage scraps in an even layer. Pour in the prepared tomato sauce and set aside. Working with one cabbage leaf at a time on a clean, flat work surface, place a scant 2 tablespoons. of the beef mixture in a 2-inch line in the bottom center of each.
Cabbage rolls are a favorite comfort food from Eastern Europe and are often reserved for special occasions or big family dinners.
Instead of boiling the cabbage, there's an easy shortcut to soften the leaves if you plan ahead.
