Polish Cabbage Rolls - Gołąbki


Gołąbki are a classic Polish comfort food, featuring cabbage leaves stuffed with a flavorful mix of meat and rice, simmered to perfection in tomato sauce. They're enjoyed for their hearty and satisfying taste.
While Gołąbki (Polish Cabbage Rolls) are a delicious and comforting dish, they are not particularly quick to make. The preparation involves several steps, including boiling the cabbage leaves, making the filling, stuffing each cabbage leaf, and then simmering the rolls. The entire process can take around 2 to 2.5 hours.

Ingredients:

Cabbage
500g ground meat
250g rice (cooked)
1 egg
50g breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cabbage:
- Core the cabbage.
- Boil the whole cabbage until slightly softened.
- Carefully separate the leaves, cutting away any remaining hard stems, trying not to tear the leaves.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix ground meat with cooked rice, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. 
- Ensure the mixture is well combined.
3. Stuff the Cabbage Leaves:
- Place a portion of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf.
- Fold both sides of the leaf inward and then roll it up to encase the filling.
4. Cooking:
- Line the bottom of a pot with some of the leftover cabbage leaves.
- Place the cabbage rolls in the pot.
- Season to flavour.
- Cook over low to medium heat for about 1 hour or until the cabbage rolls are fully cooked.
5. Serving:
- You can serve the cabbage rolls as is or with a sauce, such as tomato sauce, for added flavor.
