Savoy cabbage recipe Ingredients
Stuffed Savoy Cabbage
serves 4 to 6-
Ingredients
15 large Savoy cabbage leaves
1 tablespoon butter
1 large red onion, minced, divided (about 1 heaping cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken stock, hot
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 pound beef
1 egg
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock or water
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
Juice of 1/2 large lemon
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and blanch the cabbage
leaves for 2 to 3 minutes or until pliable. Rinse leaves with cold
water and place them on a clean kitchen towel to dry.
2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and sauté
1/2 cup onions until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the olive oil, cremini
mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper. Increase heat
to medium high and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes
or until mushrooms reduce by about 1/3 in volume. Spread mixture out
on a plate and put in the refrigerator to cool.
3. Steep dried porcinis in the 1/2 cup hot chicken stock for 10 minutes.
Remove mushrooms, chop coarsely and set aside. Strain the liquid and
set it aside to cool. Combine tomatoes, sugar and lemon juice in a
stock pot and bring to a simmer.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine beef, egg, bread crumbs, rice,
parsley, chopped porcini and the 3/4 teaspoon salt. When mushroom
mixture and strained liquid are cool, add to stuffing and mix thoroughly.
5. To assemble the cabbage rolls, position leaf lengthwise on a cutting
board and place about ¼ cup of filling at the widest part of the leaf.
Fold the sides in first, and then roll loosely, giving the rice room
to expand as it cooked. Place seam-side down in simmering tomato sauce
and assemble remaining rolls.
6. When all rolls are made and in sauce, add enough stock or water
to cover, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook over low heat for 90
minutes, and serve or refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for 6 months.
