Golabki (Cabbage Rolls)

[keda]

it's called `golubci`. C sound is more like `ts`.
I make them very often, and sometimes add some shredded carrots for colour.

there is a version of this called Lazy Golubci. where you don't have to wrap each cabbage leaf. you just make something lasagna-like. put cabbage leaves on a greased cooking sheet, spread the filing and top with the remaining leaves. pour the sauce over and bake until ready.

My mom was Czech and we call this dish "halupki".  I think I'll post our family recipe (veganized, of course).  I just need to figure out measurements, as we've never measured anything out and just "eyeballed" it.  My mom passed away this past November and so I made the halupki all on my own this Christmas.  It came out pretty good, if I do say so myself!  Briefly, I used ground beef substitute (gimme lean), uncooked rice or barley (I did a bit of both), chopped onion sauteed in soy margarine...mix it all up with some salt and pepper...steam cabbage leaves and roll with a handful of mixture in it...layer in deep roasting pan with crushed tomatoes and sauerkraut and pour on some V-8 juice...cover and bake at 350 for several hours.

b][/b]It  had a very good taste,  I really thought it was de-lish I had to ommitted soy sauce(don't like salt taste) and chicken broth  (didnt have it in vegan) Used veggie broth instead. Although I am use to 30 min meals it was well worth the make.

Holy cow these look scrumptious!  I've noticed from previous posts that this is a dish is known by other names but my polish grandma used to make these and we called them 'pigs in a blanket' which is stuffed cabbage with ground meat, and topped with a tomato-based sauce.  Anyone else familiar with this version of "pigs in a blanket"?

My mother (who is German/Italian) always called that dish pigs in a blanket...  but apparantly to some people a pig in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake.

My father, who is 100% Polish (raised in US by Polish born/speaking parents) called them golabki...  sometimes...  but sometimes he called them Polish hand granades!   

I say golabki or just stuffed cabbage.

Haven't tried this recipe yet, but used to live in Poland and eat them all the time.  In Polish, the are definitely called "Golabkie" (pronounced: ga WOM kee).  Polish has some wierd letters in its alphabet so things don't always sound the way they look.  Anyway, I'm excited to try this version, thanks!

Thia was great. I overate. Smoke flavor I substituted for 1 tsp of the worchester sauce. And  added a little raddichio for color.

I halved the recipe because I only had half a cabbage and I used normal veggie broth.  Also, I used the layering method suggested by Keda.  I thought this was DELICIOUS, my husband thought it was too tomatoey. I am looking forward to the leftovers in my lunch tomorrow.

 i love these ! im german and they are a favorite food of mine. i always include sauerkraut in the filling and on the side, perhaps you will try it sometime

I made these with a filling of pumpkin, white rice, shredded cabbage, onions, seasonings.  I omitted the tvp, smoke flavor, egg sub, the margarine and flour, sugar and soy sauce (didn't have them) and added chopped apples in the tomato sauce, I used water (no stock) to cover it.  At first it was too tomatoey (acidic) for me and I left it in the fridge overnight.  Surprisingly, the following night it tasted great.  So now I've packaged it into smaller meals to enjoy throughout the week.  After it sat in the fridge for a while I guess the flavors came together, I will make this again using tvp or tofu.

mmmm...delicious and great to freeze and take to work (coworker:  "mmm, smells like cooking in here, who brought in the good food?"  me thinking:  "me, again, you fast food junkies!!"    )     

didn't have worstershire sauce and used tamari instead and came out ok.  I mistakenly thought that it would be too juicy and tomatoey so I used about half the tomato and drained it a bit.  don't do it folks, these would be good when they're a bit saucy.  great way to eat your cabbage and can't beat the cost.

brought me back to my Polish family's potlucks...stuffed cabbage like my old aunts used to make...

I always get a lot of slack in my family for being a vegetarian polak, but this recipie really convinced my family that you can eat awesome polski food without having huge amounts of meat in it.

next to some tofurky kielbasa, it was awesome  =)

These were great!

Yum!  I added fresh parsley and chopped sun dried tomatoes to the filling.  I wasn't able to find any Worcestershire sauce so I used this recipe: http://cookingwithrockstars.com/recipes/vegan-worcestershire-sauce.  I also had fresh marinara sauce made so I opted to smoother the cabbage rolls with that.

Tip: Once you have rolled your cabbage with filling, thread a toothpick through the back of the roll.  It is nice not having to worry about them falling apart (remember to remove them upon eating unless you enjoy the taste of wood )
