Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup uncooked rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove 12 large leaves from the head of cabbage and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each cabbage leaf, then roll up, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the cabbage is tender and the beef is cooked through.
- While the cabbage rolls are baking, place the cubed potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add the milk and butter, and continue mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the cabbage rolls with the mashed potatoes and enjoy!
Cabbage rolls, also known as golabki, are a traditional Polish dish that dates back to the Middle Ages. This hearty comfort food consists of ground meat, rice, and seasonings wrapped in cabbage leaves and simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce. The dish has since spread to other Eastern European countries and has become a beloved staple in many households. Mashed potatoes, on the other hand, have a long history that can be traced back to the 1700s when potatoes were first introduced to Europe. This creamy side dish has evolved over the years and is now a popular accompaniment to many meals around the world. When it comes to the best cabbage rolls and mashed potatoes, look no further than Poland. The country's rich culinary heritage and skilled chefs ensure an authentic and delicious dining experience. For a twist on the classic recipe, some chefs add a touch of smoked paprika or caraway seeds to the cabbage rolls for an extra depth of flavor. As for mashed potatoes, using high-quality butter and cream is essential for achieving that perfect creamy texture. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of vegan and vegetarian versions of cabbage rolls, using ingredients like lentils, quinoa, and mushrooms as a filling. This modern take on the traditional dish offers a healthier and cruelty-free alternative without compromising on taste. Whether you prefer the classic meat-filled cabbage rolls or a contemporary plant-based version, pairing them with creamy mashed potatoes is a timeless combination that never fails to satisfy.
