This is a recipe passed down from my great-grandmother, with a few shortcuts she approved of.
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice, rinsed
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 (32 ounce) can tomato juice
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook cabbage in boiling water until outer leaves pull away easily from the head, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
Separate leaves and let cool. Reserve 1 1/2 cup cooking water.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in wet rice; cook and stir until moisture evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Mix beef, sausage, and egg together in a large bowl. Stir in cooled rice mixture.
Step 5
Place a golfball-sized amount of the beef mixture on the ribbed end of a cabbage leaf; roll up, tucking in the sides. Repeat with remaining beef mixture and cabbage leaves.
Step 6
Place rolls seam-side down in a slow cooker. Cover with tomato juice. Pour reserved cooking water on top.
Step 7
Cook on High for 30 minutes. Switch to Low and cook for 6 1/2 hours.
Cook’s Notes:
Substitute vegetable juice for the tomato juice if desired.
