Directions:1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 2. Carefully place the cabbage in the water and gently turn with a mesh strainer or wooden spoon. 3. Every few minutes, with the strainer or spoon, loosen a few leaves and remove. 4. Set aside to cool. 5. Do this until the desired number of cabbage leaves are softened and removed. 6. While you are softening the cabbage you can mix together the filling. 7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, pork, garlic powder,pepper, salt, sugar, 1/2 of the onion and rice. 8. Mix until combined. 9. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. 10. Slice remaining cabbage and onion and layer the bottom of your slow cooker. 11. Cover with 1/3 of the tomato sauce. 12. When the cabbage is cool enough to touch, with a paring knife, turn the cabbage over and remove the hard stem being careful not to pierce through the cabbage leaf. 13. Fill the cabbage with about 1/2 cup of filling and roll gently, not too firmly, while tucking in the sides. 14. Line them across the sauce in the slow cooker. 15. Cover with another 1/3 of the sauce. 16. Place your final layer of golabki in the slow cooker and cover with remaining sauce. 17. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours. 18. When it is done cooking, remove the lid and let cool for 15 minutes or so. 19. Serve with a salad and fresh bread. 20. This recipe usually makes me about 20 golabki. |
