This delicious dish is one we often prepare. The combination of tangy sauerkraut, fragrant rice, and fresh vegetables makes it a food favorite.
Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients:
1 head of sauerkraut, or seasoned cabbage
1 cup rice,
chopped parsley,
finely chopped onion,
2 carrots, grated
2 tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper to taste,
1 teaspoon of allspice,
Laurel leaf.
Preparation
Separate the sauerkraut leaves from the head. Put the rice in a bowl with water and boil it, until it is 70% done. Then in a separate pan add oil and the finely chopped onion in a large deep pan a saute them until done. Simmer for a few minutes until the carrots are soft. Add allspice, salt and pepper, then mix everything. Pour the rice over it. Place a spoonful of the prepared mixture in the middle of each cabbage leaf and roll the sauerkraut leaf so that you get rolls. Take a larger, deeper pan, add cabbage leaves or potatoes cut into rings to the bottom. Arrange the filled rolls on top of it and insert a few bay leaves. Add enough water to cover the surface of the rolls. Place the pan on the grill and cook at a temperature 350 F or until the rolls are soft and juicy. It usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes to cook them. Serve warm, 2 rolls each on a plate, and if desired, sprinkle finely chopped parsley on top.
