or, Polish stuffed cabbage rolls. I haven't made these in quite some time, but when cabbage is on sale for 6 lbs/1$... Even a screw up by tearing the leaves can be cheap!
I bought a 8-inch diameter head, so as to have huge leaves to roll. (Yeah, ya have to shave down the thick veins, but what the heck.)
Standard recipe, though: ground pork and beef, par-cooked rice, rolled and placed into a pan with a thin tomato sauce. I'm going to add diced tomatoes, too, this time. Seasoned the meat with paprika, S+P, and garlic. Caution was observed for over-seasoning the meat.
*ps: It was hard to re-find the recipe because I pronounce the "L" as a "W", like the Polish nuns in my hometown did growing up ("gowumpki"
. They were the masters at this dish!
I like to add a pinch of sugar to mine.
This is one of my favorite dishes. In NJ, though, I hardly can afford to make it, as there are Polish delis around here that sell it so inexpensively and who do it so well.
