Golumpki ( Stuffed Cabbage
Rolls)
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cup COOKED rice, (any
kind.. white, brown, instant, long cooking. Doesn’t matter as long as it’s
cooked)
1 Family size can Campbell’s
Tomato Soup (I always have extra regular size can of Tomato Soup on hand too in
case extra is needed.)
2 tsp brown sugar
melted in 2 tablespoons of hot water. ( I microwave it)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Put cabbage head in a large stock
pot, add water to cover.
- Place on stove on high
heat and cover, bringing to a boil.
- Gently boil cabbage until
leaves of cabbage soften and become pliable. I use a cork screw or a big
screw, into the core to help lift it in and out of the boiling water,
cutting the leaf at the stem, one by one. Returning to the boiling water
if the leaves are not coming off easily.
- Once cabbage leaves are cooled,
take a paring knife shave down any real thick veins. DON”T cut them out.
Just shave it down so that is pliable. Continue to do this until you
remove as many leaves from the cabbage as you can.
In a large mixing bowl combine
ground beef, sausage, onion soup, eggs, rice, and bread crumbs. Make
certain to thoroughly combine the ingredients together.
- Add brown sugar to tomato sauce
(do not dilute). Mix together.
- Prepare the baking dish. (Roasting
pan 9 x 11 or something similar). Place a few tablespoons of sauce to
smear on the bottom of the pan. (We always place odds and ends cabbage at
the bottom because we fight over the extra cabbage.)
- Lay a cabbage leaf down on a
flat surface. Take some of the meat mixture and form into a large egg
shaped meatball. You may make these as large or as small as you want.
Place the meatball towards the stem of the cabbage leaf. Roll
the leaf away from you, while tucking in the sides like an egg roll. Place
in baking dish with the open end down.
- Repeat this process placing the
Golumpki next to each other, until all of the meat mixture is used up.
- Once the pan is full of
Golumpki, pour the remaining soup over the top of all the cabbage rolls. If
it does not cover it all, use the extra can of undiluted soup. (We add a
little water (3 tablespoons water to the soup to rinse the can and pour
that over the cabbage too. Nothing goes to waste). We also add any odds
and end pieces of cabbage on top, covering with soup. I use a spatula to
go around the edge of the pan to help the soup ease down the sides and
between the cabbage rolls.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fahrenheit
- Cover the roasting pan with foil or lid and bake for
approximately 1 hour covered, and the ½ hour uncovered.
Served with Mashed Potatoes, a vegetable or
salad and bread and butter.
The leftover inner head of the cabbage is used
for another meal of Haluski
