Lazy Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
Cabbage rolls
- 4 cups cooked white rice, cooled
- 1/2 green cabbage sliced into 1/4" strips (about 7 cups sliced)
- 2 lb pork, beef, veal mix (from Wegmans, or any mix of ground pork + beef)
- 1 large onion (half for cabbage rolls and half for sauce)
- 2 carrots, grated (1 for rolls, 1 for sauce)
- 2 large eggs
- salt + pepper
- Vegeta (or any all purpose seasoning)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil) + a little more?
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tpsp sour cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chicken broth/stock or 1/2 bouillon cube
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt + pepper
Steps
- Oil a 9x13 casserole dish, preheat oven to 425°
- To start the sauce, melt 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet
- Add 1 large onion diced and 2 grated carrots and sautee until golden brown (low-med heat)
- If needed, add a little more butter + whisk in flour, cooking together for about a minute
- Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, + chicken broth and bring to simmer
- Add salt/pepper to taste + move aside off heat
- Slice cabbage to 1/4" strips + cover w/ boiling water to soften for 10 min - drain excess water
- Mix ground meat, drained cabbage, + cooked rice. Add eggs + seasonings and mix well together.
- Form approx. 1/2 cup potato-shaped patties and arrange in prepared dish.
- Pour sauce over patties, cover w/ foil + bake 40 min @ 425°
Notes
- You can substitute 1 lb pork (ground) + 1 lb ground beef if Wegmans doesn't have the ground meat mix
- I start by making the sauce - sautee onion + carrots together, then split for divided use (half in cabbage rolls + half in sauce)
- Usually served w/ remaining sauce in pan + a side of sour cream
- ENJOY!
