Pork, rice, onions and herbs rolled in Savoy cabbage leaves and poached in tomato juice.
I vacuum sealed them individually for the freezer.
Ashkenazi Jews make this called Stuffed Cabbage with beef, naturally, one of my favorites, deep deep comfort food
Looks really really good! im jealous we dont have stuff like that here in South Africa…
Now I am going to have to make these
Are they spicy? The ones I grew up with were not (ground pork/beef with cooked rice, onions n herbs in tomato broth), but recently had a friend from Eastern Europe share theirs and it was a spicy tomato broth.
Spicy, as in, chiles? Hot paprika? I’ve had versions that had a fair bit of kraut and caraway, bay leaf, in there but not heat.
Thanks! I haven’t had any for years because I can’t eat beef. I had always wondered if they could be made with pork but never tried it. I was at a farmers market where a Ukrainian refugee family was selling homemade Ukrainian food and the wind was blowing toward me. I told her I was going to eat one even if it hurt me and she told me they were pork. That sealed it.
As a Ukrainian, you can put almost anything into these haha. I have also tried a variation where instead of cabbage it’s stuffed peppers.
