(Or if there's a good public one...)it's not, its a legit hungarian recipe, but not secret (my great-grandma moved to the us from hungry) i didn't post it earlier cause i was out doing stuff and checking the rpc on my phone so i'm more than happy to share it now. my homemade bbq sauce will be kept secret tho xD
grandma's hungarian töltött káposzta
3lb hamburg
1/2 - 3/4 cup rice (instant because lazy but i'm sure if you want to precook regular rice, that would work too o3o)
1 large onion, diced
1 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1 tbs paprika (ima take a moment and do some shameless marketing because i'm picky about my paprika; budapest's best is the kind i try to keep handy otherwise stuff just tastes a bit off to me when i add it....which i usually add paprika to almost everything....)
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 large head cabbage
1 can sauerkraut
1 large can of tomato juice
place head of cabbage in boiling. soften leaves just enough to remove and work with.
mix everything but the sauerkraut, tomato juice and cabbage together then place just enough meat mixture in leaves to roll up in cabbage rolls. in either a large stovetop pot/lid or crockpot, add the can of sauerkraut to the bottom of the pan, layer cabbage rolls on top of each other after adding sauerkraut. pour the can of tomato juice over all of it and add enough water if need be to finish covering the cabbage rolls; keep on simmer until done (bout 3-4 hours by stove, possibly a little longer if going the crockpot route. this is one of those great "make it early and leave all day" crockpot dishes. :3 ) the of course make mashed potatoes as regular to have on the side.
this dish can also be tweaked to make stuffed peppers (not a fan of green peppers myself so never made it) but you don't add the sauerkraut and cabbage....not sure how many peppers to use since i've never made it but be sure to hull them (cut open the top and remove seeds) then put the meat mix in there before putting it all in a pot and covering with the juice.
too sexy to keep unhidden
