Bless My Soul Café
Stuffed Whole Cabbage
(Makes 6 to 8 servings)
1 large head cabbage
1 lb. Ground meat, beef, ham
and/or pork, mixed
½ bell pepper, chopped
Onion tops, parsley, salt, red and
black pepper to taste
1 pat butter
1-teaspoon sugar
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Enough breadcrumbs to hold
mixture together
1-cup tomatoes, whole fresh or canned
Directions:
Pick outer leaves off a large head of cabbage. Wash well in salt water. Cut off top and save until later. Scoop out the inside and chop well.
In a skillet, sauté ground meat, onions, bell pepper, and garlic until well browned. Add breadcrumbs, enough to make the mixture hold together. Season to taste with onion tops, parsley, red and black pepper, salt and butter. Add cabbage, which has been scooped out and chopped. Cook until cabbage is well smothered. Add a cup of tomatoes and the sugar. Fill the cabbage with this mixture, put the top back on, tie with a string and cook in a deep pot in a little sauce made with whole tomatoes, chopped and seasoned to taste. Cook until cabbage is tender and liquid is boiled down. Remove when cooked, cool slightly and cut in quarters.
