BRATWURST STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS
This is adapted from Cook's Illustrated. The original recipe calls for 3/4 pound beef and 3/4 pound bratwurst, but I adjust that to 1 pound beef and 1/2 pound bratwurst, since it's easier to buy beef in 1-pound quantities. It's very good!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350. Place cabbage in bowl, wrapped with plastic wrap, and microwave until outer leaves are pliable and translucent, 3 to 6 minutes. Carefully remove outer leaves and set aside. Replace plastic and repeat until you have 15 to 17 large, intact leaves.
- Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook onion about 5 minutes. And garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook about 30 seconds. Transfer half of mixture to small bowl and reserve. Off heat, stir tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper into remaining mixture in Dutch oven.
- Pulse bread and milk in food processor to form smooth paste. Add reserved onion mixture, beef, bratwurst, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and pulse to combine.
- Using a sharp knife, trim tough ribs from cabbage leaves by making one slice down the length of the left and right side of each rib. Roll 2 tablespoons of meat mixture into each leaf and arrange seam-side-down in 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour sauce over rolls, cover with foil, and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 more minutes to slightly thicken sauce. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put olive oil on the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Remove casings from sausage.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook cabbage leaves until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- While the cabbage is cooking, remove casings from sausage. Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into pieces as it cooks, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
- At the same time, combine marinara sauce and tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until warm, about 3 minutes; set aside.
- Mix cooked rice, sausage, and 1/2 cup sauce with basil and oregano. Spread filling onto cabbage leaves and roll up like small burritos. The amount of filling in each will vary depending on how big your cabbage leaves are. Place cabbage rolls close together in the prepared dish and spoon remaining sauce over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Garnish with more basil and oregano.

Steps:
- 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.
