分步操作

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully place the cored head of cabbage into the boiling water.

   烹饪提示： Make sure the pot is large enough to fully submerge the cabbage.

2. 2

   Cook the cabbage for 10-15 minutes, or until the outer leaves soften and can be easily peeled off.

   约 15分钟

   烹饪提示： Use tongs to gently remove softened leaves as they become pliable, then return the remaining cabbage to the water to continue cooking.

3. 3

   Once all the leaves are removed, trim the thickest part of the central rib from each cabbage leaf to make them easier to roll.

   约 10分钟

   烹饪提示： Don't trim too much, just enough to make the leaf flexible.

4. 4

   Cook the rice according to package directions until almost done, then drain any excess water.

   约 15分钟

   烹饪提示： It should still have a slight bite as it will cook further in the sauce.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, cooked rice, finely chopped yellow onion, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

   约 10分钟

   烹饪提示： Using your hands is the most effective way to mix the filling evenly.

6. 6

   To assemble the gołąbki, lay a cabbage leaf flat. Place a spoonful of the meat and rice filling near the stem end.

   烹饪提示： The amount of filling will depend on the size of your cabbage leaf, usually 2-3 tablespoons.

7. 7

   Fold the stem end of the leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides of the leaf, and roll tightly towards the tip.

   烹饪提示： Roll them as tightly as possible to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.

   约 20分钟

9. 9

   Line the bottom of a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with any leftover small cabbage leaves or trimmed ribs to prevent the gołąbki from sticking.

   约 5分钟

   烹饪提示： This also adds extra flavor to the sauce.

10. 10

    Arrange the rolled gołąbki snugly in layers in the prepared pot.

    约 5分钟

    烹饪提示： They can be stacked, but try to keep them as neat as possible.

11. 11

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned crushed tomatoes, water, chicken broth, bay leaves, allspice berries, and sugar for the sauce.

    约 2分钟

12. 12

    Pour the sauce over the gołąbki in the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged. Add the butter on top.

    约 2分钟

    烹饪提示： If the liquid doesn't cover them, add a little more water or broth.

13. 13

    Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the cabbage is very tender and the filling is cooked through.

    约 2小时

    烹饪提示： The longer they simmer, the more tender and flavorful they will be.

14. 14

    Remove the bay leaves and allspice berries before serving.

    约 1分钟

15. 15

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill if desired.

    烹饪提示： Gołąbki are excellent served with a dollop of sour cream.
