AUTHENTIC ROMANIAN SAUERKRAUT STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the filling:
• In a large bowl place together ground meat, diced onions, rice, thyme, ground pepper and marjoram. Mix everything really well.
• Set aside.
• Make the cabbage rolls:
• Prepare the cabbage leaves by removing the core and the thickest part of each leaf. If the leaves are too big cut them in half.
• Grab a cabbage leaf and place 1 tablespoon of meat on it. Wrap the meat inside the cabbage leaf to obtain a neat roll.
• Place shredded cabbage on the bottom of the pot, then start adding the rolls.
• Optional, you can add a layer of bacon over each layer of rolls.
• Fill up the pot with cabbage rolls, then mix together the tomato juice and the paste and pour it over the rolls.
• Add water to cover the rolls.
• The final layer should be shredded cabbage.(use left over cabbage)
• Sprinkle more bacon, thyme and bay leaves and cover with a lid.
• Bake in the oven at 350F for about 2 hours.
• Remove the lid and allow the cabbage rolls to bake for another 30-45 minutes. You might notice the water evaporated, so you can add a little bit more, but do not fill up the pot again.
• Serve them warm with a dollop of sour cream on top, fresh bread or polenta and hot peppers.
• Crockpot: Follow the same method of making the rolls, but cook them in the crockpot on "Low" from 6-8 hours, or 4-5 hours on "high".
• Instant Pot: Follow the recipe as I describe it. Close the pot and press the "Pressure Cook"manual button setting the time for about 18-20 minutes. Do a natural pressure release.
