Sweet And Sour Stuffed Cabbage

Ingredients

  • Servings: 30
  • 2/3 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 heads cabbage, cored
  • 3 pounds ground beef chuck
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon citric acid powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste (optional)

Recipe

    Cook Time: 3 hrs 50 mins

    Ready Time: 5 hrs 5 mins

  • bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. boil the heads of cabbage, one at a time, until softened but still firm, about 5 minutes. remove and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • combine the ground beef, eggs, cooked rice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup ketchup in a bowl. mix with your hands until well combined.
  • prepare the cabbage leaves by shaving a slice off of the large vein in the center of the leaves so they'll be easier to roll. place a heaping spoonful of the filling in the center of the leaf. fold in the left and right edges and roll up the leaf from the bottom, forming a tight cylinder. secure with toothpicks if necessary. continue filling and rolling the leaves; save the smaller cabbage leaves and set them aside.
  • chop the reserved cabbage leaves. place the chopped cabbage in a large pot. add the sliced onion, crushed tomatoes, raisins, sour salt (citric acid powder), salt and pepper, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder. stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding the additional 1/2 cup of sugar. place the cabbage rolls into the sauce. pour the remaining 1 cup of ketchup on top of the rolls. cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • cook the rolls for 3 hours, basting the rolls every half hour.
