...and YES, you CAN freeze them! In fact, you can also freeze any leftover cabbage too - just be prepared, fermented cabbage does have a strong smell, even in the freezer and even in a heavy, freeze-grade zippered bag. Just sayin' !! Here's how it goes. I can't leave anything along. As-is, where-is? Not so much. I have had cabbage rolls, and I found them satisfying but still bland. Call it sacrilegious, but that's the point where I pull out the hot sauce, or child sauce-relish. However, with this recipe, I don't need to do that. All the flavour is right there. It's not spicy; it's tasty. Not to mention, the sour cabbage is easier to digest and very good for you! So here it is: Here are the meats that I use. You can almost taste them already! Removing the sausage casings is easier if the sausages are slightly frozen, then you can leave them defrost for a few minutes to make it less work in blending the meats evenly. The scourge cabbage can be found has a whole head in the produce section of your grocery store. You just never noticed! Rinse and leave in the colander while you prep the rest. The onions fry until they become translucent. Slow and steady makes for a nice, sweet and soft textured onion. Here we have the meat, the rice, onion, dill, everything!! Mmmmm! I drizzle a little of the leftover brine on the bottom of a lidded pot with a thick base that is oven safe. Roll them up tight and place them snugly, one layer at a time. When rolling, some of the bigger leaves are good for 2 large rolls. The spine can be heavier and thicker on these as well; so I cut it out entirely. If your sauce doesn't cover them, just add water on top. It will get integrated while cooking and your cabbage rolls will expand and absorb the moisture (that's how the rice cooks!) INGREDIENTS:
Cook time: 4 hours Preheat often 375˚F INSTRUCTIONS:
Enjoy!! They're so tasty, you won't go back to the bland ones ever again!
