Learned about the sauerkraut and smoked meat from in-laws. They also used heads of cabbage that they had inserted into their home-made sauerkraut. These are oh so good!!
For all those new cooks, (young and old) being a "baba"(grandma), I do these cabbage rolls in 2 stages now. In the evening I wash and core the cabbage before cooking. Let the leaves cool and then pare off the thick rib in the middle of the leaf. Keep the outer leaves for lining the bottom the roaster and covering the prepared cabbage rolls so they don't get scorched in the cooking. These are then discarded before serving. There are usually 2 very small heads left and I set them in the roaster also, many like cooked cabbage!
I had 4 children and they grew up on our farm. I was always big on nutrition and couldn't understand why our family threw out the water after blanching the cabbage.
So....I have for years cooked my rice in the same water adding flavour and all those vitamins don't go down the drain. I cook my rice el dente as it continues to cook in the oven and we don't like mushy rice.
I then the next day only have to add the meat and cooked onions and all the spices etc to the cooled rice. And now we are ready to roll..
Put your filling close to the bottom of the leaf and roll like a sausage, hold the roll firmly in one hand and POKE the cabbage ends with the forefinger or thumb one end at a time. The filling will not escape and they look so nice and neat.
There are meatless one too, my baba made them with rice, onions, and finely chopped dill, salt and pepper. I can taste them now.
My kids liked them best when I used a large can of tomato juice and a can of tomato soup whisked together with water added if the roaster wasn't full.
I started doing a lot of my cooking in 2 stages when my kids were teens and I became a widow and went back to work. I still wanted home cooking but often didn't get home till 5:00pm.
I do perogies(pyrohyh) in two stages. I boil the potatoes, mash, with butter, lay cheese slices over the potatoes, cover till melted and mash again, then add fried onions salt and pepper. Let cool overnite.
The next day make your dough and finish the perogies.
Another hint, If you have an ironing board, cover it with and old sheet or tablecloth. Sprinkle with flour and put the perogies on the ironing board. You can then move the ironing board right over to the stove and save all that walking back and forth when boiling. My ironing board holds about 70. This saves room on your counter if you have a small kitchen
Perogies are cooked when they float to the top. Have some melted butter or margarine and fried onions(don't burn them) ready for tossing when they come out of the hot water, use a slotted spoon so you don't have excess water on them.
Sauerkraut perogies are so good!!
This has been fun, happy cooking to all you new cooks.
