Silesian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Gołąbki śląskie)
Gołąbki śląskie, or Silesian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, are a traditional Polish dish that is popular in the Silesian region. These hearty cabbage rolls are filled with a flavorful mixture of ground meat, rice, and spices, then simmered in a rich tomato sauce until tender and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup beef or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they are pliable. Remove and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf, then roll them up, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the rolls seam-side down in a large pot.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce and broth. Pour the mixture over the cabbage rolls in the pot.
- Cover the pot and simmer the cabbage rolls over low heat for 1 hour, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Serve the gołąbki śląskie hot, with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
