Zubereitung von Stuffed Cabbage Ukrainian Prockus

  1. Combine 1 (14 ounce) can cranberry sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 cups water, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in 1/2 cup white raisins. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Core 1 medium-large head of green cabbage (about 3 pounds). Place the whole cabbage in a large pot and cover with boiling water.
  4. Cover the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the outer leaves are softened enough to separate.
  5. Remove the cabbage from the hot water and immediately submerge in a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes the leaves easier to separate.
  6. Carefully separate the cabbage leaves. You may need to return the inner, harder leaves to the boiling water for a few minutes to soften them before separating.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork), 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 large egg, 3 saltine crackers (finely crushed and squeezed dry), 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  8. Spoon the meat mixture onto the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaves tightly to enclose the filling, forming small, golf ball-sized rolls.
  9. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in a large, deep roasting pan. Pour the cranberry-tomato sauce mixture over the rolls.
  10. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 1 hour.
  11. Remove the lid or foil and continue baking for another hour, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through. Basting occasionally helps.
  12. Serve immediately or freeze for later. Enjoy!
