Gołąbki (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)

Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 lb ground pork
• ½ cup white rice (uncooked)
• 1 medium onion
• 28 oz canned tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 to taste salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut out the cabbage core and submerge the whole head to soften leaves, ~8 minutes, then carefully peel off 8 intact leaves.

2. 2

   Dice the onion finely. In a bowl, mix ground pork, uncooked rice, diced onion, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper until just combined.

3. 3

   Place about 3 tbsp of pork filling on the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold in sides and roll tightly from the stem end to create a compact roll.

4. 4

   In the same pot, pour out water and return it to heat. Mix tomato sauce and beef broth together, then pour into the pot.

5. 5

   Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 35 minutes until pork is no longer pink inside.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve rolls with sauce spooned over top.
