| 1
large head green cabbage |
1 1/2
teaspoon salt |
Stuffing:
1 3/4 lb. linguica, chopped
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup oil
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (12 oz.) can whole tomatoes, crushed and drained (reserve
liquid)
In large saucepan, place cabbage in salted water. Simmer for 2
minutes or until leaves are pliable. Drain and cool. Place all
stuffing ingredients together in large skillet. Saute on medium
low heat approximately 1 hour or until fully cooked. Stir
occasionally. Meanwhile, separate cabbage leaves. Chop small
leaves and add to stuffing mix for flavor (you may find that the
large leaves need to be thinner at the base, in order to roll.
With a knife, take thin slices off the base of the stem). In
each leaf place approximately 1/2 cup of cooked stuffing. Fold 2
sides over stuffing; rolling up from end. Arrange rolls, seam
side down, in greased casserole dish. Pour the reserved tomato
liquid over entire casserole. Cover and bake for 30 minutes at
350°F. Serves 4. |
