Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts water 1 large green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 2 cups cooked rice 8 ounces ground beef 8 ounces ground pork Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes 1 medium green pepper, grated 2 celery stalks with leaves, finely chopped 4 cups tomato puree 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped 1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish

Directions

Using a paring knife, remove center core of cabbage. In a large nonreactive stockpot, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Add cabbage and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until outer leaves are bright green and tender. Lift cabbage from water, and remove outer leaves. Return cabbage to boiling water, and repeat brief cooking and removal of leaves until all leaves are cooked. Reserve 2 cups cabbage cooking water. Trim thick center vein from bottom of each leaf. Reserve four large outer leaves to line bottom of pan.

In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until golden and tender, about 8 minutes. In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, rice, beef, pork, salt, pepper, parsley flakes, green pepper, and celery. Stir to combine.

Add about 1/3 cup rice filling to one cabbage leaf. Fold sides of cabbage over filling, and, starting with the stem end, roll the cabbage up. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

Line a 5-quart Dutch oven with reserved outside leaves. Transfer stuffed cabbage leaves to Dutch oven.

In a large bowl, combine tomato puree and the reserved 2 cups of cabbage cooking water. Pour some of the tomato sauce over cabbage to almost cover. Sprinkle apple over top of cabbage leaves. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a gentle simmer; cover. Cook for 1 hour or until cabbage is very tender, adding additional tomato sauce as needed.

Place sour cream in a small bowl, and ladle in about 3/4 cup of tomato sauce from the cooked stuffed cabbage rolls. Whisk to combine. Add sour cream mixture back to Dutch oven, and stir to combine. Serve with additional sour cream.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4.0 stars       04/01/2020   Martha's mom is amazing! I have a Ukranian background so I'm familiar with blanching cabbage, and undercooking rice. The novice may not be. I think you should include instructions on cabbage and rice.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/08/2018   I didn't use the apples and it worked out beautifully. To vickeluv2knit the cabbage roll you are talking about are called Runzas. I have the original recipe if you would like it, feel free to contact me. To hegyibolt, are you talking about "Creme Freche" it does have that flavor. As to the sour fermented part, I used my fresh cabbage and I cook mine right away to keep it from having the fermentation result.

First time I made it I left the apple out, second time put it in and it made a HUGE difference!!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/08/2010   This was the most bland Golabki recipe I have ever eaten! I have been to Poland and eaten this dish, my husband is Polish, his mom, grandmother, and cousin makes this way better. I have never seen them put green pepper in it either. It lacked so much flavor and was way too soupy. I'll be writing my cousin in Poland for the REAL recipe I followed this one to the letter, and it was horrible!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/12/2008   I, too, grew up on holubki made by my dear Slovak mother and I use her recipe all the time. My Mom was a natural cook and baker and I have all my favorite recipes from her. I'm glad to see that you cook your stuffed cabbage in a pot on the stovetop, Slovak-style, and not in the oven using tomato soup. We use raw ground beef, raw rinsed rice and sauteed onions and bacon in our recipe so that the filling does not stick together. It's my favorite and I could eat it every single day.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/07/2008   My Mom cooked the ground meat first before adding the rice and stuffing the cabbage. The golumpki are not compacted after cooking. Also, use the hot water that you cooked the cabbage head with, and add it to cook the rice. It adds vitamins and flavor to the rice!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   Love cabbage rolls. Martha, please write a cookbook for the Polskas! You could do a whole section on Polish holiday traditions, crafts, and recipes. I so value my family's heritage.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   My Polish mother who arrived here in1912, used to add flavor to this dish by using cream of mushroom soup instead of tomato sauce. I sometimes ix cream of tomato and cream of mushroom for a really rich sauce. Thanks for the Mom recipes. I miss my Mom every day. Bet you miss yours too. Karen, Naples FL  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   Stuffed Cabbage sauce option: After having baked an hour, uncover and add a handful of golden raisns and fresh dill. ( Dill is a must in making Polish style soups, sauces, and gravies.) bake another half hour uncovered to reduce water.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   As KasiaK suggests, serve with extra wide noodles, sauted shredded cabbage and sauteed onions. Sour cream or cream cheese can also be tossed in.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   Stuffed Cabbage Filling- I do the onion, garlic, celery addition when making stuffed pepper but omit those when making cabbage rolls. Instead I just add onion powder, parsley a generous shake of paprika and 1 egg per pound of blended meat  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2008   To develop flavor to the Stuffed Cabbage Rolls-Golambki (Golomki), make or bake the day before. If baking a large batch bake in a large - 9x12 or 10x14 baking pan or casserole covered with foil for an hour. Uncover for half hour to reduce water.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/05/2008   Thank you Martha for your wonderful show. You mentioned making a vegetarian version. I would love a list of alternatives for the meat.Many thanks once again.

AFTER BURNING MY FINGERS TRYING TO SEPARATE THE LEAVES OF THE CABBAGE, WE FOUND A GREAT WAY TO SOFTEN THE LEAVES WITHOUT THE BOILING WATER, WE PUT THE WHOLE CABBAGE IN THE FREEZER, A FEW DAYS BEFORE, AND WHEN YOU ARE READY JUST TAKE IT OUT OF THE FREEZER LET IT THAW AND CUT OUT THE CORE, SEPARATE THE LEAVES AND THEY WILL BE PERFECT AND WILL NOT BURN YOUR HANDS OR TAKE FOREVER.... GIVE THAT A TRY...

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/07/2008   It was a very good dish all though I think the sauce could have used a little more flavor. I cooked it in the oven instead of the stop top. It turned out just as good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/25/2008   I made this one last night but, omited the apples. I used ground turkey meat instead and added a small amount of fresh finely diced jelepenos a sprinkle of dried italian seasoning and garlic powder instead of fresh and I used salted butter. Used a lighter colored cabbage maybe savoy, that came from my neighbors' garden. I loved that it was not as sweet as some other cabbage rolls I have tried in the past. It turned out really good too!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/30/2008   One of my Family's favorites! I found another way to roll the cabbage, a method I saw from another cooking show. You use a teacup or small shallow bowl lined with plastic wrap overlapping about an inch over the cup. Place a blanched cabbage leaf over the plastic wrap, then the rice filling and gently pull up the plastic wrap twisting into cabbage pouches closing the cabbage firmly around the filling. Carefully unwrap. Layer seam down in pot. They DO stay together while cooking.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/16/2008   My Polish mother would make this, and the side dish we often had with stuffed cabbage would be noodles with cabbage and onion and butter.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/03/2008   I made this recipe with savoy cabbage it's a little thinner and not as tough as green. I also changed the sausage to JD Sage flavor, added a little dill, carrot, orange pepper (omitted the green) and added tomato paste to the mix. To cook I put in a glass casserole dish and poured CLAMATO juice till they were almost covered, added bacon to the top with tomato PUREE-not sauce or paste. My husband liked them better than his mom's and I made extra for vaccum sealing! Thanks Martha.
