Cabbage Rolls
|
 |
1/2 pound rice |
|
|
1 head fresh cabbage, approximately 3 pounds |
|
|
1 small onion, chopped fine |
|
|
1 teaspoon oil |
|
|
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
|
|
|
1/2 pound ground pork |
|
|
Salt
|
|
|
Pepper |
|
|
2 carrots, chopped |
|
|
2 stalks celery, chopped
|
|
|
|
Directions
|
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Steam the rice and cabbage head separately. Set the steamed
rice aside. Peel off the cabbage leaves to have individual leaves.
- Add chopped onion, oil, bouillon, and the steamed rice to
the ground pork meat. Mix together. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the
ground pork mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Wrap each pork ball in a
cabbage leaf.
- Add carrots and celery into the baking pan (vegetables
prevent the cabbage from burning onto the bottom of the pan, and also adds an
aroma to the rolls) and arrange the cabbage rolls on top.
- Place the pan into the oven and cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
Check if it is thoroughly cooked before removing from the oven.
