Cabbage Rolls
By kimmie
Core cabbage and freeze overnight, before starting
- Cabbage Rolls (Holubtsi)
- My Mother's extra special, fine tuned over the years, family recipe from her mother, for holubtsi. :)
- INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium-sized head of cabbage
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 lb Bacon
- 2 cups long grain rice for one medium cabbage
- 1-19 oz can tomato soup with can of water and 2 Tbsp butter
- 4 tsp salt
- ground pepper
- - Core and freeze cabbage OVERNIGHT - it falls apart in water, no need to boil
- - Fry onions in butter until they are transparent. Parboil the rice in a little water (just to cover the rice) and bring to a low simmer. Watch carefully - just until water is absorbed. The rice will still be a little 'hard'. It will soften up during baking.
- - Add raw bacon and fried onions. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- - Grease a roaster (a small covered enameled roaster works well, but a covered casserole dish should be just fine) with a little oil and cover the bottom and sides of the roaster with the outer cabbage leaves. Roll filling in an inner cabbage leaf to make a roll. Place rolls in roaster, fitting them snugly together with the seam on the bottom to prevent unrolling. Rolls can be placed in layers to fill the roaster. When the rolls are all in place, pour the tomato soup mix on top. Note: It is not necessary to use a whole can of tomato juice; it may boil over in the oven. A tray under the roaster to catch any overflow is a good idea. Cover all of the cabbage rolls with left over cabbage leaves. Cover the roaster, then bake in the oven at 400° F for 30 minutes, then 350° for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- -And then, enjoy! It makes lots, so invite family and friends over! :)
