Grandma’s Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
For the Rolls:
1 large head of green cabbage
1 lb ground pork or beef
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Sauce:
2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup chicken or beef broth
1 tbsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
1 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider)
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare the Cabbage:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then peel off the outer leaves as they soften. Continue until you have 10-12 large leaves.
Set the leaves aside and pat dry. Trim the thick stem vein on each leaf for easier rolling.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine ground pork or beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, beaten egg, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Assemble the Rolls:
Place a spoonful of the filling onto the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly like a burrito.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine tomato sauce, broth, sugar (if using), vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook the Rolls:
Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the pot with the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, spooning sauce over the rolls occasionally.
Serve:
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a spoonful of the rich tomato sauce. Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal!
