ingredients
- 2 cabbage, cored
-
For the meat mixture
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup white rice, uncooked
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- kosher salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste (optional)
-
For the sauce
- 2 onions, sliced
- 32 ounces tomato sauce
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar or 3/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, firmly packed
- 1⁄4 cup golden raisins or 1/4 cup brown raisins
- 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
directions
- If you have the cabbage heads frozen, just put under running luke warm water and peel them off and dry them with paper towels.
- Mix the meat ingredients in a bowl with your hands until well blended.
- Place the leaves on a flat surface, I used a large cutting board and place a "meatball" amount in a leaf.
- Roll it until just covered and then fold in the sides and finish rolling and place in a large pot, seam side down.
- Continue until all is used up.
- Place the sliced onions on top of the cabbage rolls in the pot.
- In a bowl (I rinsed the bowl that had the meat mixture and used that) mix all the sauce ingredients and pour over the onions.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then lower the heat, cover and simmer for an hour and a half.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
