Ingredients:
2 lbsGround Beef, lean
1/2 cupRice, uncooked
1 medOnion, Diced
1 Green Pepper, Diced
2 Eggs
1 largeHead Cabbage
2 quartTomato Juice
Procedures:
1Prepare the cabbage leaves: the old timers would freeze the head solid, then peel the leaves from the head as they thawed.
2The best way i"ve found is to 1)cut the core out with a knife, then put the hole-where-the-core- was, side down in a steamer over boiling water.
3Let it sit for about 10 minutes and remove.
4Several layers of the outer leaves should be soft enough to remove from the head.
5When you"ve removed as many as you can, return the head to the steamer to soften more leaves.
6Take a sharp knife and remove as much of the central vein as you can.
7Filling: mix all the other ingredients together in a bowl.
8Work it with your hands until the eggs and other ingredients except the tomato juice are thoroughly mixed into the meat.
9Now, take a glob of mixture and set it in the hollow of a deveined leaf,with the end that was near the core towards you.
10Fold the end nearest you about / way over the mix.
11Fold the left side over the mix and then the right side.
12Roll about / turn away from you so that the "seam" is on the bottom.
13Place in the pan seam side don and continue with the other leaves.* when you"ve made the last cabbage roll,pour in the tomato juice to cover.
14Bring to a boil then simmer for at least an hour.
15Serve in a bowl with the juice, although these, like spaghetti are better the 2nd day.
16*this is an ideal cabbage roll.
17?of them won"t go together this perfectly, so be ready to make adjustments when making the rolls.
18Variations: garlic is great, paprika and chili powder will work in the stuffing, v-8 instead of tomato juice is pleasantly different.
