Hungarian Kaposzta - Golabki,
Stuff Cabbage Golumpki and
Hungarian Cabbage Rolls. Oven baked

Ingredients
3/4 lb fine ground pork
3/4 lb fine ground beef
2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 cup rice cooked for about 10
minutes then drained.
3 cups tomato juice
1 large onion, diced
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 large head cabbage
1 can sauerkraut (about 20 oz.)
1 pint sour cream
Method
Core cabbage and in a large pot, place the cabbage in enough boiling salted water to cover it. With a fork in one hand and a knife in the other keep cutting off the leaves as they become wilted or you can also tear leaves off head and cook them a few at at time. (Allow about 45 minutes to do the cabbage.) Drain them on several stacked paper towels. Trim out and remove the thickest part of center vein of each cabbage leaf, about 1/4 way up into leaf. In another pot, add meats, seasonings, cooked rice, green pepper; mix well. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling on each cabbage leaf, almost on the edge of it, from end to end, roll cabbage like a jellyroll inserting the side ends of leaf into the inside with your thumbs to make cabbage leaf stay wrapped. Place them in a roasting pan with a cover. Fill roasting pan with 1 inch full with water; arrange sauerkraut on top; add tomato juice. Cover and bake at 325-F for about 1 and 1/2 hours or until done. Remove and spread sour cream on top and bake 5 minutes more.
Serves 6 to 8 people
A simpler version to make this is to put the meat mixture in bottom of the roasting pan with the water, spread the sauerkraut over it, lay cabbage leaves over that, then pour on the tomato juice and later the sour cream. Cover and bake. Add small amounts of water if needed.
