Cabbage Leaves stuffed with Meat and Rice served with Tomato Sauce - Gołąbki w Sosie Pomidorowym

Stuffed cabbage, my favourite, prepared my Mum way. My mum always likes little "pigeons" (pigeons mean golabki) here and mine are very small;) Some are the size of a walnut. Boiled in a pot with plenty of tomato sauce ... and it is essential to use rice flakes.

Ingredients for the cabbage and the stuffing:

1 medium white cabbage

2 tablespoons tomato paste (for stuffing)

100 g of rice flakes

(Can be rice, which must be pre-cooked half-hard), I prefer the version with the rice flakes because you do not need them before cooking, because I live in NI do not have access to the Polish flakes so I used the rice )

500 g pork mince

salt and pepper to taste (salt spoon, teaspoon freshly ground pepper)

1 egg

2 tablespoons bread crumbs

1 teaspoon dill

2 tablespoons Vegeta, or a stock cube dissolved

1 medium size onion, grated on the grater

Fill a deep pot with water and boil (add a tablespoon of salt). Peel the cabbage should be some upper leaves (save them for later), cut into then put hot water in a deep pot (party to the depths of the bottom). Keep water from the cooked cabbage.  Leaves shapeless or corrupted save it for later. In another small pot to cook rice if we do not use rice flakes.

Boil this site for 15 minutes then turn the party into the cabbage and cook up just for 5 minutes, then fork detached leaf after leaf moving on the plate.If you do not want to leave the list should be boiled cabbage to change first from bottom to top and then break away again. Cut the leaves from the cooled thickened at their ends from the outer leaf inside.

While waiting until the cabbage is boiling, we can prepare the stuffing.  Minced meat, salt, pepper, rice, egg, breadcrumbs, grated onion, dill and tomato concentrate.

Prepare a pot into which we put the cabbage leaves, line the bottom of the pot with leaves that are damaged or washed and used cabbage leaves from the top. At each leaf we put the stuffing prepared according to the following way (the amount depends on the size of stuffing leaf):

Everyone put so complex dove into the prepared pan. Stack the stuffed cabbage tightly next to one another. Stuffed Cabbage pour water from cooked cabbage. I put 2 tablespoons of Vegeta or vegetable stock. Plate covers the

cabbage and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.

If the stuffing is not used, we can do it to be small fry meatballs in a pan and then serve with tomato sauce from stuffed cabbage. :)

While cabbage is cooking prepare tomato sauce.

Tomato sauce:

250 g of tomato pure

7 tablespoons of sweet cream (single cream)

7 tablespoons plain flour

Remove the cover plate of stuffed cabbage and pour prepared sauce for the whole pot. Do not mix only with a plate put back on the doves. Gently squeeze the plate several times. So you do not need to be mixed. Allow to boil. Allow the best for 2 hours and serve.
