Romanian cabbage rolls with turkey !!!!!!!!!
For this recipe we'll need the following ingredients :
-1 lb ground turkey
- 1 jar of pickled cabbage leaves
-1 large onion
-4 cloves of garlic
-6 medium mushrooms
-1 carrot
-1 cup of rice
-2 small cans of tomato sauce
-a small bunch of parsley
-1 egg
-2 bay leaves
-ground black pepper
- paprika
-salt
-4 spoons of olive oil
Clean and chop the onion & garlic finely and fry in olive oil until it gets soft, and chop the mushrooms and the carrot and add in the frying pen with the onion and garlic for another 5 minutes . After that mix the fried vegetables with the ground turkey, rice, egg, parsley, tomato sauce, salt and black pepper together. Afterwords fill the cabbage leaves with the composition that you made. Let's see how we can fill the leave , if the leave is big cut in half and then take a small amount of meat fill and roll. It is not hard - just a lot of fun to do it. After finishing filling and rolling , we need a dutch oven.
On the bottom of the pot we need to have a layer of cabbage leaves {the ones that are broken or thick} and then layers of the stuffed cabbage leaves and then have 2 bay leaves on top of it. After we'are done arranging the cabbage leaves in the pot , pour water and the cabbage juice from the jar (if you like it a little bit sour) to cover it. Put to boil over low heat. Cooking time will be not less the an hour and a half, and then place the pot in the oven for 15 minutes {350 degrees}. After the cabbage rolls are ready, sprinkle some paprika on top and have a few leaves of parsley , just for the decor.:)
It can be served with either sour cream or yogurt, and either bread or polenta (corn meal).
Enjoy the dish!!!!!!!!!!!
