How Do You Make Polish Stuffed Cabbage?
Polish stuffed cabbage or “Gołąbki” is a traditional dish comprised of cabbage stuffed with a pork/rice meat mixture, cooked in its own sauce or with addition of tomato sauce. To prepare the stuffing, mix ground pork or turkey with cooked rice and shredded onion. Add salt and pepper for flavor. You may also add a clove of crushed garlic for some additional spice. Set the stuffing aside. Place the head of cabbage in a large pot of slightly salted boiling water. The intent is to soften the cabbage with steam and water in order to peal off individual leafs without tearing them apart. Continue steaming and pealing leafs until your cabbage is almost gone. Do not dispose of the water. Lower the heat under the pot to a minimum and line the bottom with about half of the sliced carrots and remaining parts of the cabbage head. Add bay leafs and allspice seed. Using a knife, carefully remove the thick rib from the center of each leaf without puncturing it. Spread each individual leaf on hard surf
