Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
1 medium size head of cabbage
For Filling
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove minced
2 tbsp dried parsley (you can also use fresh)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
For Sauce
1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 10.75 oz can of tomato soup
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove minced
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
1. Cut core out of cabbage. Place in a pot of boiling water. cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: You may have to put cabbage back in boiling water after taking off several leaves. Sometimes the leaves closer to the center need to be blanched in order to roll them.
2. To make the sauce: Sautee onion and garlic in butter and cook until onions are translucent and tender. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for around 20 minutes.
3. To make filling: Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together until well combined.
4. To assemble: Take a blanched cabbage leaf and remove the thick part of the stem by cutting which leaves a V shape. Take about 1/4 cup of the filling and place in the center of the leaf, fold and roll the leaf around the filling. Place cabbage roll in a 9 x 13 baking dish with 1 to 2 cups of sauce in the bottom. Once the baking dish is full, pour remaining sauce over the top. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.

People who never tasted such a marvel dont know what they've been missing!
growing up my mother used to make those. Then one day she did the unthinkable...she made cabbage roll casserole. She didn't have time to go through all the steps to make the rolls but my dad wanted cabbage rolls for dinner. She used her crockpot and chopped the cabbage like she was going to make coleslaw and layered the bottom of the pot then added the filling in a layer and kept doing that until she ran out of room or fillings and let it go. Dad asked what it was and she said just eat it. He did and loved it, so did I. I guess I should add, I had an accident earlier in the year and had doctor's appointments all that day and that's why she did the crock pot.
I tried my best but the cabbage was tough and my husband wouldn't eat it so I ended up throwing it all away. A big waste. He said that the meat was pink in the middle. So I've decided that it would be better for me to skip the cabbage and just do meatballs. Phew ,what a waste
@@goodtimegwyn wish my gf would at least even try to cook
I would eat it even raw with a smile n say thank you if I knew she tried
But oh well I cook so even when im tired af from work she eats n so guess I get to eat too when I make it
Gonna try these rolls seems easy tho
Just sitting here in the garage looking at the jeep after work see what else I need to work on it, oh wait guess I gotta go in n make dinner oh yeah cabbage rolls
@@robertozepeda2160Find a girl that wants to be a wife. It’s a rare thing these days but they are out there. No man should do all the cooking. A woman should want to take care of her man.
Grew up enjoying Mom's cabbage rolls which were excellent. Tried this recipe yesterday and the best flavor ever!
I made these cabbage rolls today. My son,who rarely complements a meal with more than, “ It’s okay.” Raved about the them. My husband enjoyed them,too. I’ll definitely placed these on my regularly cooked recipe list. They were easy and worth the time to make.
Oh this makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for letting me know! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
Turned out very yummy! My European in laws said it was the best cabbage rolls / sarma they have had
Awesome! So glad you all enjoyed them! 😊
Everything you did was great, one trick that I learned from an old Polish lady is to do is bake the rolled cabbage rolls in chicken broth, then add all of the goodies that you made, it is delicious keep up the good cooking
Thank you Brian! Thanks for the tip! 😊
I like the dish you cooked it in
Made these for dinner! Delicious, big hit by all. Love the sauce!!
Yay!! Thanks for sharing!
Tried your recipe tonight. Very good. Thank you.
Oh I’m so glad you liked them! Thanks for letting me know. 😊
Australia - Hello Kristi, what a fantastic recipe !!. I have seen quite a few recipe's, but wanted one that has more flavour, such as the garlic in it. You really nailed this one, it is the best by far. Both my crushed tomato and soup cans were the same size, so I had to google conversions as here they are in Grams and not Oz size cans. Also I would like to say I really liked the way you presented this in front of the camera. Calm, well spoken and really easy to follow. Stay well and thank you for your video
We made these for dinner today. They were amazingly delicious. Thank you so much for the recipe and instructions.
Yay!! Thanks so much for letting me know! 😁
Thank you from Canada
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
My Das was Canadian from Alberta.
I live in Alberta
I made them today in crock pot unreal my 6 year old ate two huge ones lol with garlic and cheesy bread
This was my first time ever making cabbage rolls, I watched a dozen UA-cam videos and decided to go with yours and they turned out absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make a video and share! Happy New Year! 🎉❤️
Aww this makes my heart happy! Thanks for letting me know! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cabbage rolls. Happy New Year!
Go watch this recipe its been on Rachel Cooks With Love..for a few years..its the same
@kmichelle101 - Thank you for your comment. I am on the fence on these, because of your feedback on this recipe, I am going to give it a try.
The vinegar is putting me off on this… did you use it as instructed? Or, did you make any modifications to the recipe?
@@sisterspookyI don’t use any vinegar and it still turned out great!
Right hers made so much sense
Made them out of leftover vegetable soup turned out fab….thanks Sis for a great vid!
I agree that the sauce is key to cabbage rolls. I see some recipes with no sauce. I love a lot of sauce on mine. Am going to try canning cabbage rolls for the first time, so hope they will turn out well. Loved watching your video.
Very good idea of canning cabbage rolls. I’m interested to know how they turn out. Thanks so much!
How were your canned cabbage rolls?
Great idea for dinner tonight, I will probably shortcut on the sauce as my family is diehard Ragu tomatoe sauce lovers. But you gave me some good ideas for improving my cabbage rolls. Thank you!
So glad your going to try it! Thanks so much for watching!
I haven't made cabbage rolls in years and decided to use your recipe as a guideline. Needless to say, I over ate because they tasted delicious! Thank you! I'm writing it on a recipe card 🙂🥰😋
Jesus loves you!
Looks good!
Thank you!
Ty! Making these :)
This is absolutely delicious. This is the 1st time that I have ever made cabbage rolls, though my mom use to make this when I was a kid. If you have an extra set of hands, that would help a lot. A heads up on the sauce is that its taste changes from the time when it goes in, to the time when it is cooked. I was not expecting this, but then again, I am just a beginner at cooking. I made a few changes to the sauce, which you may find helpful. I did not use brown sugar, but used Jaggery (labels says Jaggery Powder) in its place. Use the same amount of Jaggery as you would Brown Sugar. I also added some fresh Italian Parsley to the sauce. I was not going to initially use it. However, the sauce had a blah taste to it, so I quickly chopped up about 3 tablespoons (no need to be exact by any means) and added it to the sauce. I got that idea from another similar cabbage recipe.
When you add the ingredients to the meat, make sure the onions are chopped fine enough. I did not do this and wish I had once I started adding the mixture to the cabbage. Also, I did not use rice, but instead used Organic Riced Cauliflower (Brand: 365 Whole Foods Market). I baked and broiled it in the oven to try to get the moisture out so that it would be more like dry rice. If planning ahead, you may want to let the Cauliflower just sit out to try to reduce the moisture. I would not recommend what Kristi did, which was to cook the rice, let it cool, and then use it. This is because the result, as I found out the hard way, makes the mixture moister than you would like. At least it did for me. Rather, I would cook it until half way done (if possible) and then let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
I set the oven to 356° Fahrenheit (176.667° Celsius) and cooked for 1hr 30 mins. Took it out, let it set for about 2 minutes and then took one out because I was dying to see what it tasted like. Mine had a slight spicy taste (peppery), which was not expected, but that is OK because I liked it, a lot!!
In my opinion, this recipe could be modified to be WHOLE 30 compliant by leaving out the Brown Sugar or the Jaggery. I do not think that it is going to make or break the sauce part of this recipe. And yes, it is true that the sauce is what makes this dish.
In the event that you are try to minimize the work to prepare this dish, I would suggest using Rao's Homemade (Roasted Garlic). I was going to do this, but then changed my mind because I wanted to try the sauce recipe, which I am definitely glad I did. The beauty about making your own sauce is this: you control what goes into it and how much. So you control its taste.
If you try Kristi's recipe with or without modifications, I think you will love it. Definitely something that I will be trying again in the future.
I’m so glad you made the cabbage rolls! I love that you made them your own and used ingredients that you like. Well done! 👍🏻
I think adding brown sugar to the recipe serves to counter and cut the acidity of the tomatoes. Same with lasagna and pasta dishes. I make cabbage rolls the traditional way using raw uncooked ingredients including the meat and rice. However I soak short grain rice in water for 30 minutes before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
Hey Kristi! Happy New Year! These look fantastic!! We loved these!! My Grandma always made these for us. I definitely want to try this!! Ooh the tomato sauce sort of has a sweet and sour vibe! I love it!!
Happy New Year to you Karen! And yes the tomato sauce is sweet and tangy and oh sooo good! 😊
Hello how are you doing?
Made this , loved it ,Kudos
Yay! So glad you liked them!
My absolute favorite meal with mashed potatoes!!!!
Oh yeah! I totally agree! Thanks for watching.
I know I'm a couple of years late to the party here, but I highly recommend trying these with sour cream the next time you make them. They're very much like the Ukrainian cabbage rolls my grandma used to make and we always put a generous dollop of sour cream on top of them. 😋
I would love sour cream with them! Thank you!
Thank you for your time and amazing knowledge best regards MAM
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
My husband needs to lose five stone, so I made them but with a few adjustments. I had some frozen wholemeal breadcrumbs, and I used oil instead of butter. Well see how it goes,
Very nice videao
Thanks. I first rinsed the rice in a steel bowl a few times with cold water bc of all the starch. then rubber soond it into a fine screen then dumped into the already boiled water. cooked 15, quick cooled.
This is a convenient way to make cabbage rolls; however, I would omit the canned tomato soup and add my homemade beef stock containing tomato paste; just use an uncooked 15 min rice 🍚 as this would thicken the 🍅 sauce.
That looks delicious I don’t make a per se sauce but I do you cut tomatoes and a large can of tomato juice I fold mine differently but I don’t have to use the all mighty toothpicks mine stay together nicely and I cook mine on top of the stove for a good hour and a half I do not use cooked rice use rinsed white rice basically everything else is The same .
Hello from Canada! Very excited to try this! Can you tell me is it condensed tomato soup you use or is it ready to eat? Our soups up here in that size are always condensed so I don’t wanna make a mistake! Thanks 😃
Yea it is a condensed tomato soup. So excited for you to try them! Thanks for watching! 😊
Polish name is : "Gołąbki". These are delicious 😊
Look great!!!I just made some but, I undercooked them.They are going back in the oven for an hour.
Undercooked is an understatement. Just spent 2 hours prepping, 1 1/2 hours baking at 350.
Results: inside the shell, meat wasn't thoroughly cooked throughout. About 1/2 way throught/center PINK & raw.
Oh well, should've called mom who doesn't rely on clicks......and time for pizza!
Ok, I’ll give it a whirl. Gotta be better than a cabbage sandwich. Thank you
You’re very welcome!
You look just like my girls kinder teacher!
For my family it’s a dash of cumin and tons of garlic but Gehenna I make it I make a roaster full and freeze and give away rolls.
A very nice recipe . A great and tasty meal . Best Wishes for a Good and Happy New Year .
Thanks your so kind! 😊
Sour cabbage is the trick
This is new to me and thanks for the video. 2 questions:
1. What do you eat together with the rolls?
2. What to do with the left over sauce in the cabbage roll pan? Throwing it away?
1. Borscht, perogi, nachinka, naleshniky, sour cream, caramelized onions, ham sausage. 2. There is never left over sauce at our house. This is what we are having for thanksgiving this year.
Rye bread and butter is good too.Soak that sauce up with the bread.
So when we eat. Me Hungry.
You should try cutting the cabbage leaves differently. Yours was the hardest to handle compared to other recipes.
Great video..I'm going to do this in the next few days for xmas
Can we premake, then freeze?
Also at the end of ur video's can u plz make a list what we need 😇
Lol...I screen shot the ingredients for now
Thanks so much! Yes you can freeze them. You can also find the recipe in the description box below or on my website.

Use leftover cabbage. Make Cole slaw.
Can you do this with pork and BBQ sauce
Why knot🤷♀️ sky’s the limit!
Kristi, I have a question about the salt you use. Is it ordinary table salt (like Morton's salt) or is it Kosher course salt or is it sea salt or is it something else?
I typically use kosher salt however any will be fine.
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook- While “any” would be fine, they do not measure equal. It’s important to list Kosher Salt when it is used and Table Salt when it is used. The granules and flakes are *_VERY_* different in size and it can throw the recipe off.
tomato soup is it make a good sauce
ROLL IT UP!
Can ground turkey be used in place of ground beef and if so would I need to do anything different? I can't eat ground beef
Absolutely! And you don’t need to do anything different. 😊
My cabbage rolls are made with onion , bacon and garlic, mine are the size of baby finger
What boiling water?
I have recently found out that I can't eat eggs. What can I substitute for the egg in the recipe?
The egg just holds the beef mixture together but since it’s rolled in cabbage you could just omit the egg. It might be a little looser but should be fine.
Secrets in the sauce
where can I get the recipe?
It’s in the description box 👇
Your supposed to cut the head of cabbage off & put the cabbage in boiling water & when they drop off put them in a colander,then do the roll & put them in a pot rolled with a plate on top & cook = lahano dolmades Greek style
I’ve tried twice to make cabbage rolls, but cabbage is so tuff, what do I do?
Boil the cabbage longer before you roll it.
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook ok thanks
Yes or separate the leaves and blanch them separately which is more work.
@trooper2221 - Freeze the head of cabbage overnight. When it’s thawed, they’ll separate like a dream and it won’t be tough at all. 😊
OK, so I made this again. Since my last comment, things in my health condition have changed, so I modified the recipe. One change involved using Bison rather than ground beef. Another change was not using using white or brown rice, but rather using wild rice (not a blend). I cooked it and then let it cool down until the next day. Wild rice contains resistant starch, being often considered to act like a prebiotic. So if you are watching your carbohydrate intake, this can help tremendously
Note 1: no need to change the amount of rice in the recipe (1 cup).
Note 2: If you are following the whole 30 plan, you may be able to eat wild rice, since it is not truly rice, but rather a grass.
I love wild rice! This would be a great addition. Thank you for sharing! Praying for your health condition, God bless! 😊
I don't put any tomato sauce, i use butter and onions
Thanks. now to make a vegan version. and not a lab meat thing. I first rinsed the rice in a steel bowl a few times with cold water bc of all the starch. then used a rubber soon it into a fine screen then dumped into the already boiled water. cooked 15, quick cooled.
Would you write all this recipe to me....I can't keep up
The recipe is in the description box below or on my website thymetocookwv.com
Did you forget to boil cabbage
No disgusting onions please
I don’t know what I did wrong? I followed the whole recipe and it came out tasting bland. I feel like I wasted my meat and time. Sorry, just want to be honest
