My parents are Ukrainian and always made this cabbage roll recipe when I was growing up. These cabbage rolls have no meat in them. Sometimes they used salt pork in them, but I didn’t care for it.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 3 cups water
- 1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and insert a steamer basket; bring to a boil. Place whole head of cabbage into the steamer basket, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 3
At the same time, bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saut? until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion into cooked rice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Cut leaves off cabbage and cut any larger leaves in half. Spoon 1 tablespoon rice into each leaf and roll tightly. Stack rolls in layers in the prepared casserole dish. Pour tomato juice over the rolls, using enough just to cover.
Step 6
Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
