Ukrainian Meat Filled Cabbage Rolls Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Ukrainian Meat Filled Cabbage Rolls Recipe). In Ukrainian kitchens, cabbage leaves are often used as cases for soft fillings. These rolls are a little different, because the leaves are filled with a meat stuffing and not primarily a cereal mixture. This makes them 'holiday' fare. For a different flavor, use tomato juice instead of chicken broth. See the note at the bottom of the recipe for pressure cooking instructions.

Ukrainian Meat Filled Cabbage Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 large onion

chopped

¾ pound ground pork

½ cup fresh bread crumbs

1 egg

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 head savoy cabbage

cored

2 cups chicken stock

or as needed

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sautee onion in butter until tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. When the onion is cool enough to handle mix together the ground pork bread crumbs egg salt and pepper until well blended.

Step 2

Place the head of cabbage in a large pot and add enough water to cover the cabbage halfway. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes. As the outer leaves become translucent and soft remove them one at a time by peeling them off with a wooden spoon. Trim off the thick ribs at the leaf stem.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and line the bottom with outer cabbage leaves. Lay a few more leaves on a clean work surface. Place a large spoonful of the pork mixture at the base of each leaf. Roll up towards the top. Repeat until filling is used up. Arrange the finished rolls over the leaves in the dish and pour in just enough broth to cover the rolls. Place extra cabbage leaves over the top.

Step 4

Cover and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. When finished drain off broth from the dish into a small saucepan. Whisk together the flour and sour cream. Gradually stir the sour cream into the broth. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until heated about 5 minutes.

Step 5

To serve arrange cabbage rolls on a platter cover with sauce and sprinkle with dill. This goes perfectly with homemade noodles or millet kasha.
