Gołąbki

Gołąbki are Polish cabbage rolls filled with meat and rice or other ingredients. Anna’s family recipe combines partially cooked rice, sautéed onion and minced beef with pork or turkey. Softened cabbage leaves are wrapped around the filling, with their thick central ribs trimmed so the parcels fold more easily.^[1]

The rolls can simmer in stock or bake with a smaller amount of stock. Anna prepares tomato sauce separately, finishing it with cream and butter, and also suggests mushroom sauce. Her family serves the rolls with potatoes. A vegetarian version uses buckwheat and mushrooms.^[1]
