@sammymontgoms: Cabbage Rolls🥬 - my family has been making this recipe for decades!! RECIPE IS DOWN BELOW ⬇️ always linked in bi0 too!
♥️ My Nonna got this recipe from her Ukrainian neighbour decades ago - and we’ve been making that same recipe ever since. I hope you love this one as much as we all do! xo Ingredients 2 heads green cabbage see instructions below before assembly 2½ cups Italian style rice pearl or aborio will work 2/3 cup butter salted 2 yellow onions finely chopped 6 pieces bacon uncooked 1 tbsp vinegar 1/2 water 1 tbsp seasoning salt black pepper to taste Instructions Core the cabbage first (keeping it whole) then wrap it with plastic wrap and freeze overnight or for at least 10 hours. Remove cabbage from the freezer at least 10 hours prior to assembly (preferably overnight), add to a colander, place in the sink and gently cover the top with plastic wrap, allowing the excess moisture to drain into the sink. After about 10 hours the leaves should be soft and easy to remove. Prepare the rice according to package instructions and allow to cool while you prepare your cabbage. Remove each layer and using a knife cut out the hard triangular rib from each cabbage leaf. If the leaves are too big, cut them in half. Pat to remove any excess moisture with a paper towel if necessary and set leaves aside until ready to use. To a medium sized frying pan add the butter and set to low/medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 10-12 minutes or until very soft, translucent and just begging to brown then lightly season with black pepper. To a large mixing bowl add your cooked rice, onions, seasoning salt and a pinch of black pepper. Thoroughly mix to combine then taste the mixture to see if you'd like to add any additional salt. Begin by preparing the cabbage rolls by adding 1-2 tbsp of the rice mixture into the centre of the cabbage roll. Fold in both sides of the leaf to secure the filling, then roll, packing the rice mixture tight. In your baking dish, arrange the cabbage rolls in layers. Sprinkle a little seasoning salt between each layer, then lay 2-3 pieces of bacon on top of the rolls. Repeat until all cabbage and rice mixture has been used. In a small bowl, mix together the water and vinegar and evenly pour over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake at 375 °F for 3-4 hours, or until the cabbage is very tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Enjoy!

All the complainers of no meat : just a heads up, there were times when people could not afford meat and made cabbage rolls without

I’m Ukrainian and grew up with theses types of cabbage rolls. My husband is German and the first time he came to Thanksgiving he was very disappointed he thought he was getting the meal size ones filled with beef and covered in tomato sauce. But he now says he prefers mine!

So freezing a head is better than slightly boiling it? That is so interesting, never tried this method before

Can you do another TikTok showing us how to do the cabbage? From the freezing to trimming to the rolling?

My mom made them with ground beef and bacon in the rice. Also added 2-3 tbsp of the bacon grease to the rice. Covered them in tomato sauce or soup (whichever was on hand). Best cabbage rolls ever!

In the balkans we call that sarma, but we would mix ground meat with rice and it’s boiled instead of baked!

you add ground meat in the rice and you add the bacon too just for flavor

Similar story - Italian grandmother, her Ukrainian friend taught her these exact cabbage rolls, never met someone else who does them without the ground meat! I love them this way

How do you get the cabbage so pliable? I have frozen it before but don’t get it as agreeable as yours?

There is no one kind of recipe for cabbage rolls. Mine are chopped and fried bacon, rice, sauté onions, ground beef, pepper/salt and homemade canned tomatoes. Roll into the cabbage and smother withe tomatoes sauce or tomato soup and bake f at 350⁰ for 2 hours.
