Golabki (cabbage rolls)



Ingredients:

1 whole head cabbage (large)
1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked rice (I use the white rice - about 5 oz uncooked)
1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef
1 cut chopped onion (option - saute the onion in Canola oil in a frying pan until tender)
1 ts salt
1/4 ts pepper
3 beef bullions (dissolve them in 1 cup of water)

1. Remove core from cabbage. Place whole head in a large pot filled with boiling, salted water. Cover and cook 3 minutes, or until softened enough to pull off individual leaves.
2. When leaves are cool enough to handle, cut away the thick center stem from each leaf, without cutting all the way through. OR smash it with a meet tenderizer.
3. Mix onions, beef, pork, rice, salt and pepper.
4. Place about a 1/2-cup of meat on each cabbage leaf. Roll away from you to encase the meat. Flip the right side of the leaf to the middle, then flip the left side. You will have something that looks like an envelope. Once again, roll away from you to create a neat little roll.
5. Place any unused leaves (too small, damaged, or cut up cabbage core) in a big pot ( I use 8qt). This will protect golabki from burning. Put your golabki on top of this. Pour beef stock over them adding water, so the liquid almost covers them.
6. Bring to boil, reduce the heat, cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 45-1hr.
