MAGYAR TÖLTÖTT KÁPOSZTA - HUNGARIAN CABBAGE ROLLS by Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipes TM ©

I am Evangeline Czegeny-Mackell, the third member in the Three Generation Wonder. My grandmother - Chef Ilona Szabo (Helen Irene Czegeny) is the Helen of the famed Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipes - Best Selling cookbook. My mother Clara Margaret Czegeny is the gifted author who penned my grandmother's recipes.

Let me share about Hungarian Cabbage Rolls, or properly named - TÖLTÖTT KÁPOSZTA .

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are a Classic Hungarian dish that almost everyone world-wide recognizes. No wedding celebration would be complete without large pots of these tightly rolled bundles of meat and rice held by soft wrappers of cabbage.

The rolls lay in a bed of silky sauerkraut with hints of smoky bacon. The cabbage and sauerkraut meld to create the most delicious and mellow dish. Once you sample Hungarian style cabbage rolls, you are hooked!

I just love cooking my mom's Hungarian Heritage recipes as she learned them from my grandmother and I learned them from her.

You WILL fall in love with Hungarian food, one dish at a time and saveur the flavours of Hungary, you will be glad you did!

Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage

This Delicatessen Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage all beef recipe is so delicious people called in to find out if we had it each day, and lined up outside the door when we did! You just can't get this kind of simple traditional recipe and process for slow cooked ethnic food made from scratch anymore unless you make it yourself, and here's the step by step fail-proof way!

Why is the recipe so delicious? Using raw rice allows the rice to cook and absorb the flavors of the sweet and sour juice. Rice will absorb all that juice, so the sauce isn't watery, and the rice will be fully cooked in the long cook time. Using cooked or partly cooked rice results in a mushy overcooked rice full of water. Also putting the sweet and sour into the sauce, and not the meat, allows the meat flavor to shine with a slight hint of being marinated in sweet and sour. No overpowering flavor of onion or kraut, just the perfect sweet and sour balance and the main ingredients, so the tip of the tongue is treated at the bite, and the back of the tongue during the chew! Finally the sweet/tart apple adds an unidentifiable depth of flavor that takes the diner over the top! Many requested this recipe over the years but it remained a secret until now. Enjoy.

Makes 8-12 BIG Stuffed Cabbage Rolls - 1 or 2 per person:
1 Lg Cabbage
1-1/2 LB Lean Ground Beef (Chuck, Round or Sirloin Preferred)
1/2 Cup Raw Washed Rice (Basmati Preferred)
1TB Schmaltz (Rendered Chicken Fat)
1 Large Egg
2 Qts. Tomato Juice
12 Liquid Ounces Tomato Paste
1 Lg. Lemon Juiced or 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
4 heaping TB dark brown sugar
1 Large Tart Apple (Granny Smith Preferred)
1 Tsp Salt, 1 Tsp Pepper, 3 Tsp Garlic

Slow cook 2-3 hours starting at 350, then 275 once boiling
Check along the way for sweet & sour balance add lemon or brown sugar if necessary.

They are even better the day after cooking when all the flavors have been fully absorbed, so make plenty and freeze them, 2 rolls in each sandwich-size plastic bag. Pop them out into a dish and microwave for home cooking ready in 5 minutes!
