You're probably thinking "what is this saucy hot mess."
Stuffed cabbage is an old Eastern European recipe. I used the recipe from the one and only Mrs. Ina Garten. It is hearty enough for a main course and also fun to make.
Rolling the cabbage is suprisingly easy, and the sauce mixed with brown sugar, tomato and raisins is a perfect combination of sweet and savory.
Ina suggest blanching the cabbage whole, but I found afterwards that some of the inner leaves were too hard to use and I had to blanch them separately. The second time I made the recipe I blanched the cabbage longer. I also had leftover meat filling so I made a meatloaf.
The queen of stuffed cabbage, my 90 year-old Polish grandmother, even approved. Phew.
I provided the link with the recipe and also a video at foodnetwork. Try it, you won't be sorry!
