CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a gallon of salted water to a rapid boil in a stockpot. Remove the core of the cabbage head by cutting about a 3-inch deep cone only around the thick stem, keeping most of the head solidly intact. Place the cabbage de-cored-side down into the boiling water. Place a plate or a smaller pot on top of the cabbage head to keep it from floating. Boil until tender, soft to the touch and bright green, 15 to 20 minutes. Place in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the damaged first couple of outside leaves and save for the bottom the pan. Then carefully remove the rest of the cabbage leaves until the head is smaller than a baseball.
• Cook the bacon, saving the drippings. Place the cooked bacon into a food processor and puree. Then place into a large mixing bowl. Puree the onion and green pepper and place into the mixing bowl. Then do the same with the Parmesan. Then add the ground meats, rice, ketchup, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, seasoning sauce and egg to the mixing bowl. Mix well. Scoop or ball into 4-ounce portions. Place the damaged outside leaves and the too-small center leaves on the bottom of a baking pan. Place a blanched cabbage leaf into one hand like a cup. Then place the ball of meat mixture in the center, pull the hard spine over the top and almost tuck into the meat, then fold the rest of the leaf around the ball.
• Place in the baking pan with the folded sides down. Repeat. Place them nice and tight next to one another. Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan to help steam the cabbage rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Drizzle with clarified parsley butter and serve.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sauce, in a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato soup and diced tomatoes. Set the bowl aside until needed.
• In a large mixing bowl, with a large spoon, combine the mushroom soup, tomato soup, pork, beef, onions, and seasonings. Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, prepare the baking dish. In a glass, 9 by 13-inch pan, pour about 2/3 of the reserved tomato sauce in the bottom the pan. Set the remaining 1/3 aside.
• To stuff the cabbage leaves, place about 3 ounces of the meat mixture on each leaf. Then tightly roll the mixture into the leaf. Place each roll, as they are finished, into the prepared baking dish. When all of the cabbage rolls are in the pan, spread the remaining third of the tomato sauce on top of them. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 60 to 75 minutes, until the cabbage rolls are cooked through. Serve.
