Pork Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
• 2 lbs sauerkraut
• 1 large head green cabbage
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/4 tsp of finely chopped garlic
• 1 lb ground lean pork
• 1/4 cup rice, cooked in boiling salted water (yielding 3/4 cup cooked)
• 2 lightly beaten eggs
• 2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
• 1/8 tsp marjoram
• 1 tsp salt
• freshly ground pepper
• 1 cup water mixed with 1 cup tomato puree
• 1 cup sour cream
1 Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water. If needed, soak in cold water
10-20 minutes to reduce sourness. Squeeze dry and set aside. In a
large saucepan, bring to a boil enough salted water to cover the cabbage.
Add the cabbage, turn the heat to low and simmer 8 minutes. Remove
the cabbage and let it drain while it cools enough to handle. Pull
off 16 large unbroken leaves and lay them on paper towels to drain
and cool further.
2 In a 10-inch skillet, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil,
until the onions are lightly colored. In a large mixing bowl, combine
the pork, rice, eggs, paprika, marjoram, the onion-garlic mixture,
salt and a few grindings of black pepper. Mix well with a fork or
wooden spoon.
3 Place 2 tablespoons of the stuffing in the center of one of the
wilted cabbage leaves and, beginning with the thick end of the leaf,
fold over the sides, then roll the whole leaf tightly, as you would
a small bundle. Repeat with more leaves until all the stuffing has
been used.
4 Spread the sauerkraut on the bottom of a 5-quart casserole and arrange
the cabbage rolls on top of it. Add the water mixed with the tomato
puree. Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover the pan tightly and
cook the stuffed cabbage over low heat for 1 hour. Transfer the rolls
from the casserole to a warm plate. Stir in the sour cream to the
sauerkraut. Simmer another 5 minutes. Lift the sauerkraut onto a serving
platter with a slotted spoon. Arrange the cabbage rolls on the sauerkraut
and pour some of the sauce over them. Serve the rest of the sauce
in a sauceboat.
Serves 4-6.
