Stuffed Cabbage Rolls {Sarmas}

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Cut core end off cabbage and place in boiling water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove cabbage from water and allow to cool.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine meats along with the rest of the ingredients besides sauerkraut & tomato sauce.

Step 4

When cabbage is cool enough to handle, separate 12 leaves from the head. Make a V-shaped cut on the bottom of the leaf to remove the thick rib of the leaf.

Step 5

Place ⅓ cup of filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf like a burrito, bringing the sides in first then rolling it up to seal. Repeat with remaining 11 rolls.

Step 6

Place ½ cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish along with 1 cup of sauerkraut. Place the cabbage rolls in the baking dish and cover with remaining sauerkraut and tomato sauce.

Step 7

Cover with foil and bake 75-90 minutes until cabbage is tender and meat is fully cooked.
