A finely grated carrot will work for the sugar step. For the amount you had there about a half of a carrot. If you stir that into the sauce right in the beginning it will cook down and no one will know it's there. Definitely going to try this weekend!
Oh yummie. I steam the head of cabbage to get the leaves off. I made this last week to cure my daughters cold and making it again this week just for fun. It has all the essential nutrients to cure a cold. Vitamin c tomatoes, antioxidants leafy greens and fiber.
I LOVE cabbage rolls! I core, salt & steam full head of cabbage to remove the leaves. I follow Hungarian great grandma 's basic recipe. Had to cut it Waaaay back thougg. As I'm not cooking for a brood of 18 children 😂 Still end up freezing some for a second meal. ❤
I LOVE CABBAGE ROLLS PAM!!! My mom made the best but I don't have her recipe ... so THANK you. I'm gonna go back in time with your recipe. I'll close my eyes .. take a bite ... and hug my Mama. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a great recipe, didn't know you could get Jasmine minute Rice, such a nice smell, love that! And I learned how to prepare my cabbage, too. Thank you.
😋Hi Auntie momma Pam🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾 Pleaaaaasssse make a stuffed pepper video! I love Stoffers frozen stuffed peppers. I'm not too confident doing it myself. Thanks in advance!
Firstly, thank you, Pam, for this detailed tutorial!!! Secondly, did anyone else get a feeling that a Sleestak was going to pop out whenever that music played???😅😂🤣
I make this all the time. Also to help with acidity, mix a little brown sugar and a little bit of lemon juice. The lemon milds out the sweetness. It's soooo delicious. Love you Pam!!
I have been thinking about this recipe for days. My mom made it when we were growing up, and I have never made it, but I told my children about it, and now they want me to make them some. I remember my mom's recipe having some sauerkraut in it also. It was one of my favorite dinner foods as a kid. I will ask her about her recipe. I hope she remembers it now that she is 97 years old.
This recipe has Eastern European connections too :) One of my favourites. The cabbage leaves do such a good job at keeping the meat filling together during cooking.
"Give me some of that..." OLD Country Rocking cabbage Rolls " to Soothe My Soul ... That sounds like a song, but yummy eating I'm just saying Can see Tom Cruise sliding by
PAM Good Morning AMAZING recipe....brings back memories of my Grandmother making this except she put a bit of sugar in the sauce and used beef and put raisins in it ....and interesting but really nice flavor and I can just taste yours wow Love your show...Julianna NC....I wrote this before I saw you put the sugar...LOL
so i’ve been focusing on improving my overall health, and i finally got that doctor’s appointment i’d been putting off. the results came back better than expected-my cholesterol is down, my energy’s up, and i just feel so much more in tune with myself. it’s like everything just clicked once i started putting my energy towards health and well-being. i think it’s thanks to Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, which i read after seeing it mentioned so often in comments. it really helped me shift my mindset and manifest the health i was craving.
Cabbage rolls are one of my favorites! You can also freeze the head of cabbage and then thaw it out and the leaves are then pliable to be rolled....but is about a 24hr lead time, so microwaving is certainly faster and works great too. Another great variety is using pickled cabbage leaves, popular in the Balkans called Sarma, but hard to find whole heads of pickled cabbage here in the US....can pickle your own but takes 3-4 months. Or you can use regular cabbage leaves and layer the rolls with sauerkraut and smoked meats to mimic the flavor.
I just tried this last night and the leaves were tougher to cut into after the rolls were cooked. Thats the only thing i did different. I'll probably go back to steaming the head of cabbage. Is there some trick to freezing it?
@@neutraliserjanine If the rolls were tougher to cut after being cooked, it sounds like they weren't cooked long enough, rather than the issue being whether the leaves were microwaved, steamed or frozen prior to rolling them. In the video, she says cook 1hr and does them on the stovetop, I've always baked them for about 90 minutes in the oven and use enameled cast iron pot.
Hi Pam! These look delicious and I want to make them tomorrow! I dont have minute rice on hand, but I do have basmati rice. How much cooked rice would I add to the meat mixture? Thanks in advance!
Are you reading my mind Miss Pam? I literally said earlier to my mom it's been awhile since I had cabbage rolls I'm going to make some and this pops up lol
Hey Ms Pam love you. You had me till the sugar, I do not like any food that tastes sugar. I rather put a table spoon of vinegar. Love you, you're the best. Without sugar ❤❤❤
Wouldn't vinegar add more acidity? Grate a carrot or 2 into the sauce, I sautee the carrots with the onions, it naturally sweetens it without the unessary sugar
I totally agree and because of all the tomatoes and tomato paste this dish is extremely acidic!!! The small amount of sugar only reduces the acidity and balances it out. I promise you lol it does not add sweetness at any level. But without it the dish can be very acidic and bitter. Thanks for sharing!
i’ve been working so hard on my financial goals, and this week i got an unexpected opportunity to work on a side project that’s going to bring in a ton of extra income. i didn’t plan for it, but it’s exactly what i needed. i’ve been trying to align myself with the energy of abundance, and honestly, i think reading Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane really helped me understand how to do that. now, things are falling into place in ways i didn’t even expect.
@cherylfrench2526 I know, its a greek dish. However, can be made exactly with her ingredients but merely replacing the cabbage with grapevine leaves in case someone can't stomachache the cabbage due to bloating.
Never Never put sugar into a homemade sauce, just grate a carrot or two, that cuts the acidity. Only people who cannot cook properly use sugar in sauces.
"only people who can't cook properly"....... That part of your comment you could have kept to yourself. There's no need to be snarky. I'm so tired of people leaving mean comments. There's no need.
If you can't do sugar, a pinch of baking soda will reduce the acid too. A carrot or an Italian friend has used a few slices of ripe pear. It's all yummy😊
my health has been so much better lately. a few months ago, i was struggling with energy and feeling off, but now i’ve been waking up early, feeling energized, and hitting my workout goals every single day. i didn’t do anything drastic, just started focusing on feeling healthy and strong. i think it has to do with this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, that i read. it talks about how focusing your energy on your goals really shifts things, and i guess it worked for me.
i’ve been thinking about finding a better relationship for a while now, and out of nowhere, i met someone who ticks all the boxes. it was like we just clicked from the moment we met, and now we’re talking about building something real. honestly, i didn’t think it could happen so fast, but i had been focusing on manifesting the right connection. i remember reading Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it gave me a lot of clarity on how to focus my energy towards attracting the right person into my life

I like that tip I will try that’s for sure
@@lillies4023 Ditto 👍
Good Advice !!!
My Italian grandmother (from Italy) taught me that trick. Natural sweetness and also adds a little thickness and bulk to the sauce as well.
Oh yummie. I steam the head of cabbage to get the leaves off. I made this last week to cure my daughters cold and making it again this week just for fun. It has all the essential nutrients to cure a cold. Vitamin c tomatoes, antioxidants leafy greens and fiber.
Thanks! I was just about to comment and ask how to get the leaves off in one whole piece.
I LOVE cabbage rolls!

I love Stoffers frozen stuffed peppers. I'm not too confident doing it myself. Thanks in advance!
Make a small amount this will be good practice if you want. 🎉🎉🎉
I don't cut that out! I eat it. Yummy
Do it like this just use peppers instead of cabbage.
Oh my!!! Cabbage rolls look delicious. Got to try.
Thank you! I love watching you make your recipes❤️

It gave the cabbage rolls a slightly sinister feel. Spy cabbage.

Yum-brown sugar sounds better (or white sugar with a little molasses)
I love this channel! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I know cabbage rolls are a classic recipe for many. ♥️ I’m going to try this recipe soon!
Look yummy ty for recipe . God bless you and your family Amen. I love cabbage too.

Bay leaves make a big difference in flavor😊

I'm just not sure my family would like it.
Can’t wait to try, I’ll hve homemade mashed potatoes wit mine.

@@MG-ot2yr Thank you. 🙏🏻 That makes sense. I hought I could cut down on cooking time because they were already wilted. 🤣
I steam the cabbage AFTER removing the core. Freeze or boil. You're only boiling 2-3 then start removing the leaves. They're pliable, only 1 step❤
Be right over....my favorite meal with mashed potatoes. Thank you.
😂😂
This used to be my favorite meal my mom made she would put rice in the meat but I’m vegetarian it would have to be meatless
I’m a vegetarian also. I would use vegetables or beans. No butter, otherwise it looks like a good dish.
Mushrooms, brown rice and quinoa is a good substitute for meat.
Wow!
Yummy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hi Pam! These look delicious and I want to make them tomorrow! I dont have minute rice on hand, but I do have basmati rice. How much cooked rice would I add to the meat mixture? Thanks in advance!
Congratulations Pam not sure I made it to the right site
Hey cooking at Pam's place 😁🖐️
My husband is not one that likes sugar to cut the acidity so I can't use that. But the rest of this recipe sounds amazing!😁
Add a little Alfredo sauce or cream of mushroom soup to help with acidity
Can these be done in some kind of white sauce? I've never been a fan of tomato/marinara sauces.
Are you reading my mind Miss Pam? I literally said earlier to my mom it's been awhile since I had cabbage rolls I'm going to make some and this pops up lol
Could I make this without onions cuz I don’t eat onions and all colors pepper
❤❤❤
👍
I buy the leaves that have fallen off the cabbage at the store. I look for the ones that are not damaged.

My Mama boiled hers because I was 24 when the microwave oven came out!!@ 😂😂😂😂😂
✨✨✨🔥🙏🦉🪶😎💥🌕😍
I'd do the opposite, I'd cook the rice and include the onions raw 🌷
I use 1 cup of rice with 2 lbs of hamburger.
My mother makes it but Lee and our son Daniel don't like cabbage and Lee doesn't like rice.
