How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Wash and trim the cabbage, cutting out the core, and cook for a few minutes in boiling salted water until the leaves will separate easily; drain, reserving some of the liquor, then trim the thick centre rib from each leaf.
|
2. Put the washed rice into a pan with 1 cup boiling water and simmer until the water is absorbed; add the milk and cook slowly until tender, stirring occasionally.
|
3. Mix the rice with the minced meats and seasonings and put some of the mixture on to each cabbage leaf; roll up and tie with string or skewer with a cocktail stick.
|
4. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the cabbage rolls in it, turning them occasionally with a spoon.
|
5. Sprinkle the sugar over them and continue frying until they are a rich brown colour.
|
6. Cool slightly and then add a little of the water in which the cabbage was cooked; simmer gently with a lid over the pan for about 1 hour.
|
7. Remove the strings or skewers before serving.
|
8. Make gravy with the cooking juices, thickening them with a little flour and cream or milk; pour this over the rolls.
