March Recipe – Gołąbki

Straight from the Olney Friends Kitchen, Chef Nicholas Stringham has sent us over another recipe to share with you!
 
This month it’s Gołąbki. Gołąbki is the Polish name of a dish popular in cuisines of Central Europe, made from boiled cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling of minced pork or beef, chopped onions, and rice or barley. Gołąbki (pronounced GA-WHOMP-KE E), the Polish rolls nurture one’s soul by bringing family together. The name translates to “little pigeon”, referring only to the size and shape of the dumpling, not to anything on the ingredient list. Historically, Gołąbki were made with buckwheat and potatoes.
 
 
Ingredients List –
1lb Ground Beef
8 Cups of water
1 Cup Rice
1 Cup Diced Fresh Tomatoes
3 Large Carrots Diced
1 Stalk of Celery Diced
1 Lg Onion Diced
2 Cups Tomato Sauce
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
1 Tbsp. Salt
2 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 Head of Cabbage
 
Directions –
1. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
2. Put 1 head of cabbage inside the water, and let set for 3 minutes.
3. Separate the cabbage leaves using tongs, or a fork.
4. In a separate pot add ground beef, minced garlic, diced carrots, celery, onion, along with all the seasonings. Cook on medium to high heat until the ground beef is browned, and vegetables translucent.
5. Cook 1 Cup rice and 2 Cup water until the rice is tender and soft.
6. Remove rice from heat after it’s cooked and add to brown beef mixture.
7. Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to brown beef mixture and stir.
8. Take the beef mixture and add to each cabbage roll leaf. Roll the leaf up like a burrito and stack in a baking dish.
9. Once all cabbage rolls are done, add remaining tomato sauce and diced tomatoes on top of cabbage rolls.
10. Bake at 450 degrees for 35 -40 minutes uncovered until you can insert a fork smoothly into the cabbage.
11. Serve hot with a side of additional ground beef mixture and remaining tomato sauce on top.
