Number Of Ingredients 12

Cabbage:
1 large head cabbage, sliced and chopped into large pieces
1/2 Large Onion, sliced thin
2 Tablespoons Chicken or Pork grease (healthier version just use olive oil)
2 Tablespoons Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
Dumplings:
2 cups cold mashed potatoes
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons Cream of Wheat (I keep individual servings around)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 cups pre-sifted flour (if dough looks/feels sticky just add a bit more; or if it looks like its starting to firm up quickly add a bit less)

Steps:

Cabbage: In large frying pan. add 1 Tablespoon grease and butter - Saute the sliced onion, set aside. Add remaining grease and butter, Saute cabbage on medium heat; cook until the volume goes down and the cabbage is cooked though. Takes a bit to cook liquids down. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Dumplings: In mixer, combine all ingredients. Add flour last about 1/2 cup at a time so you can regulate when the dough becomes firm. Put sheet of wax paper down on the counter, pinch dough and roll into a 1 X 2 inch oblong dumpling and set out on piece of wax paper. In large pot, boil water. Add dumplings and cook for 10-15 minutes. Drain and add to cabbage pan. On low heat, slowly and gently combine the dumplings with the cabbage and reheat before serving. Goes well as a side dish or can be eaten as a main veggie meal.
