This is my lazy American version of a cabbage roll recipe I got in Romania. I am guessing at how many it serves - I really have no idea. We always have plenty leftovers to enjoy or freeze for later. I am not a huge fan of cabbage, but I love this recipe. Read more Can be done in a crock pot instead of stovetop. See less
Ingredients
- 1 white or yellow onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 bell pepper (green, orange, yellow or red), finely chopped shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 1 large head of green cabbage, julienned and slightly steamed in vinegar water shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- dill weed shopping list
- dill seed shopping list
- paprika shopping list
- 1-2 lbs. ground meat (preferably pork sausage) shopping list
- tomato sauce, 1-2 cans shopping list
- 1 C white basmati rice, uncooked shopping list
How to make it
- Julienne and steam the cabbage (you can skip the steaming if you want - I just like the tang from the vinegar).
- In a very large skillet or stock pot, sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper in olive oil (sometimes I also sauté chopped mushrooms in this mixture).
- To the sauté mix, add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the mixture with a generous helping of dill weed and paprika (maybe 1+ T each).
- When vegetables are just barely softened but not mushy, remove from heat and stir in raw burger and uncooked rice. Mix well.
- Use some of the shredded cabbage to make a bed in the bottom of the pot and add the rest of the cabbage to the burger mixture, then pile onto cabbage in the pot.
- Sprinkle everything with a generous helping (1-2 T) of dill seed. Pour 1-2 cans of tomato sauce over it all and add water or chicken stock to bring the liquid up to just over the top of the mixture, leaving 2” or more at the top of the pot for expansion.
- Simmer for at least an hour. They’re done with the rice is fully cooked and tender.
- Serve with a generous helping of sour cream.
