Mrs Galumpkis Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Recipes

GOLABKI (STUFFED CABBAGE)

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat up tomatoes in a saucepan over medium-low heat until they begin to boil, then remove them from the heat. With an immersion blender, blend in cubed butter one piece at a time until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and a dash of cayenne if you like it a little spicy, but not enough to scare your Mom-Mom.
• For the cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice off the bottom of the cabbage head and insert the knife around the core to make a square of insertions into the core of the cabbage. (Do not completely core the cabbage.)
• When the pot is boiling gently, drop the cabbage head in and boil it until outer leaves are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cabbage head and wait a minute for it to cool, then begin to gently peel the outer leaves away. When the leaves are no longer soft and they become hard to peel, place the cabbage head back into the boiling water for another 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat removing the leaves and then boiling the cabbage until you get down to the core or the leaves become too small. (It's a good idea to boil extra cabbage leaves so you have the extras just in case the leaves rip.)
• Saute onions with a dash of canola oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat until onions are translucent. Combine sauteed onions with cooked white rice and allow to cool.
• Combine ground beef, pork, veal, eggs, onion and rice mixture and salt and pepper in a large stainless steel bowl. Mix until well combined, then set aside. (We'll call this the filling from here out.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place 1/4 cup filling into the bottom of a cabbage leaf. Tuck the sides of the leaf in and roll the leaf up and over and make a small package. Place the finished roll seam-side down in a 12-by-10-inch baking pan that's at least 2 1/2 inches deep. Continue with the remaining leaves and filling and tuck them tightly into the baking pan. Pour 1 inch vegetable stock into the bottom of the baking pan. Cover the cabbage rolls with a sheet of parchment paper, then cover in foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove cabbage rolls from the oven and turn it down to 325 degrees F. Take off (but reserve) foil and parchment paper. Pour off the vegetable stock (no need to save it; it'll taste like cabbage water...yum). Top the drained cabbage leaves with just enough tomato sauce to coat the top of the cabbage and make a small pool under the rolls. Replace the parchment paper and foil and bake the cabbage rolls 45 minutes more.
• Serve the finished golabki by topping them with a ladle of the reserved sauce, a little fresh dill, and a dollop of sour cream.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS & KRAUT HUNGARIAN GALUMPKIS

Steps:

• 1. FOR THE CABBAGE: Core the cabbage. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and boil whole head of cabbage until leaves start to pull away from core. Remove cabbage and SAVE THE WATER that it was boiled in. Let cabbage cool. Carefully remove the leaves until you get closer to the core with the white cabbage leaves. These are too hard to stuff, so chop them up to add to the pot later. With the reserved leaves, cut off the hard veins with a paring knife before stuffing leaves with the meat mixture.
• 2. FOR THE FILLING: Combine rice,beef,pork, salt, pepper,parsley,garlic powder and paprika. Mix very well. Put aside.
• 3. Stuff the cabbage leaves with meat filling. If you have left over meat filling, simply form them into balls. For an even easier version, make balls from the meat mixture and add cut up cabbage without stuffing them at all.
• 4. LAYER INTO POT AS FOLLOWS; A thin layer of the cabbage water 1/2 of the Cut up cabbage 1/2 of the Sauerkraut cabbage rolls and balls remaining 1/2 of the cabbage remaining 1/2 of the Sauerkraut Add saved water from boiling the cabbage to just cover the top.
• 5. Bring to a boil,covered, and then simmer on low, covered for at least 3 hours. This step can be done a day ahead, cool it down, and refrigerate until almost ready to serve. The flavor is better and more developed if you plan to serve it the next day. Regardless of time, continue with the next step.
• 6. Mix some cold left over water from the boiled cabbage and the cornstarch. Add this to the big pot of stuffed cabbage and balls. When almost ready to serve, warm up again. This will thicken the broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened.
• 7. Serve with a big dollop of sour cream. Yummmm

AUTHENTIC POLISH GOLUMPKI RECIPE - STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS THAT TASTE LIKE POLAND!

Steps:

• Cook the rice in half the time stated on the packaging. It should be middle-hard (semi-cooked).
• Wash the cabbage and remove the outer leaves.
• Remove the core and put the cabbage inside the boiling hot salty water.
• Depending on the type of cabbage, boil for 1-10 minutes, until the leaves are softer and flexible enough to form gołąbki.
• Drain and cool down the cabbage. Leave the water from the cabbage, you will need it later.
• Separate the leaves- you will use each leave to form gołąbek.
• Peel and chop the onions. Fry them with minced meat and a bit of oil or butter. Keep in mind that frying meat is not necessary! You can add raw meat to the filling.
• Mix rice, onions, and meat together. Season with salt and pepper. If the filling is too dry, add melted butter or broth to make sure it's easy to wrap in the cabbage leaves.
• Place the raw, outer cabbage leaves on the bottom of the heat-resistant dish.
• Start forming gołąbki: take each leave, put the meat-rice filling inside, and wrap it carefully. See this video if you don't know how to do it.
• Place gołąbki in the heat-resistant dish. They should tightly cling to each other.
• Pour the cabbage water into the heat-resistant dish. They should cover 1/5-2/3 of the dish (not more than half of the dish!).
• Cover the dish with the lid.
• Place in the oven heated to 356°F (180°C). Cook for 1-1,5h (until they are soft). After 40 minutes check if there is enough water in the dish. If not, add some more to make sure gołąbki won't burn.
• TOMATO SAUCE- peel and dice the tomatoes and boil them with a bit of water. Fry the minced garlic and onion on oil. When they are soft, add to the tomatoes and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• MUSHROOM SAUCE- peel and dice onions and mushrooms. Fry them on butter with minced garlic for 5-10 minutes. Add broth or water, cover the dish with a lid and simmer until soft (10-15 minutes). Mix the flour with sour cream, add 2 tbsps of mushroom sauce. Slowly pour the flour-cream mix to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

MRS GALUMPKI'S STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

• In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
• Add rice and stir.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Or use your rice cooker.

• Combine the meat, cooked rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Stir in half can of tomato soup and mix well.
• Put about a scant 1/4 cup of filling in each leaf.
• Roll them up from the stem end folding the sides in so the filling does not fall out.
• Do not roll too tight, just snug.
• Use a toothpick to keep them from unrolling in your pot.
• In a large wide pot, add the remainder of the cabbage, chopped up.
• This is the bed the little rolls will lay on.
• Add 1/2 cup tomato juice to the bed.
• Line up the cabbage rolls on top (It is okay to double stack them if you need to).
• Mix the rest of the soup with the drained stewed tomatoes and pour over the rolls.
• Put a lid on the pot and cook on medium heat until the pot boils.
• Lower heat and continue cooking for 50 to 60 minutes longer until the cabbage leaves are very tender.
• Keep the heat on low.
• Keep the rolls warm in your crock pot if you like.

• Blanch the cabbage leaves in the pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until pliable.
• Run the leaves under cool water then lay them out so you can assess just how many blankets you have to wrap up the filling.
• Next, carefully cut out the center vein from leaves so they will be easier to roll up.

• Bake for 1 hour until the meat is cooked.
• Enjoy!

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS, RUSSIAN GALUMPKIS

Steps:

• 1. Start by cutting up your cabbage. You can make chunks,slices, whatever you feel like at the moment. Place it in a large sauce pan. Take half of your tomato juice or sauce, and pour it over the cabbage. Bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 15 minutes to reduce the cabbage and give you room for the porcupine balls.
• 2. While the cabbage simmers, mix the meat ball mixture. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef,eggs,soy sauce,pepper,onion powder, garlic powder and the rice. Mush it up with your hands and blend it all very well. Form this into meatballs by rolling a palm full in your hands.
• 3. After the cabbage is reduced and you have room in the pot, put the balls right on top of the cabbage. Add your 4 bay leaves and the rest of your tomato sauce or V-8 or tomato juice. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 50 minutes to an hour. They are done when the rice if fully cooked.
• 4. NOTES: Mom used tomato sauce. I tried them with V-8 juice and they are good too. My Mom didnt use as much sauce/juice as I do now. I added more liquid due to the fact that the rice sucks it all up. The following day, you can add more sauce and ketchup because you will find that those thirsty meat balls sucked it all up again. Either that, or you can leave them and add more ketchup on top before reheating.
