Gołąbki - Cabbage Rolls - STUFFED CABBAGE - POLISH Food
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This recipe for Gołąbki, or stuffed cabbage as they are commonly known, is my grandma's and mom's version of this traditional dish. Like so many ethnic dishes, there are countless variations depending on the region. I have found that most Gołąbki served in the Detroit area (and elsewhere in Michigan) comes baked in some kind of tomato gravy or sauce. Elsewhere, I've seen it served with sour cream or even topped with a mushroom gravy.
While you can surely enjoy these Gołąbki when they come out of the oven, they will only get better in flavor and texture the NEXT DAY! We would often have these on a Sunday, so they were made on Saturday, or even on Friday if time permitted.
Preparing stuffed cabbage takes time - it is not a quick prep meal! But it's well worth the effort.
1 large head or 2 medium heads of cabbage (you want at least 24 good, full leaves to wrap your filling in, plus another 10 or so to line the roasting pan - the leaves you use for the lining don't have to be perfect in shape, size or condition)
1 cup dry rice (cook in 2 cups water)
2 lbs ground pork
1 lb ground chuck
2 medium onions, diced fine
6 TBSP butter
3 cubes chicken bouillon, crushed (or 3 tsp granulated chicken bouillon)
salt and pepper
2 cans (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup - or 1 can (26 oz) condensed tomato soup
water
4 TBSP brown sugar
Extra gravy for serving (if desired)
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
water
1 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
Rinse raw rice in sieve under cold water. Transfer to medium sauce pan and add two cups cold water. Bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce to simmer and cover. Cook 20-25 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and remove cover. Fluff rice with fork. Allow rice to cool completely and fluff with fork again. You don't want any clumps.
In a large skillet, melt 6 TBSP butter and add diced onion. Season with salt and pepper. Over medium heat, slowly cook onions until soft and golden brown. Watch your heat - be careful not to burn the onions, stir them often until they caramelize and soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
Get the largest pot you have and fill it about 3/4 way with water and put on heat. You can make your meat filling while the pot comes up to a boil.
In a large bowl, combine pork, chuck, cooked rice, cooked onions, chicken bouillon, and season well with salt and pepper. Gently mix all the ingredients together (I use clean hands for this job). Set meat mixture aside.
Carefully using a knife (I use a paring knife for this job) cut into the bottom of the cabbage around the core (stem). Try to go in about two inches and at an angle. You want to remove the core area from the cabbage so the leaves will remove easily. Using a large carving fork or some other tool to securely hold the cabbage, gently lower it into the boiling water. Give it a few minutes in the water and then with a pair of tongs gently start to pull the leaves away from the cabbage one by one. Put leaves in a colander or bowl lined with a towel to wick some of the water away.
Once you have all the larger leaves removed from the cabbage, use a paring knife to trim down the center vein that goes through the leaf. These are tough, and making rolling the leaf difficult, so trim it down (see video) or remove it altogether.
Make your sauce/gravy for inside the roasting pan. Use you condensed tomato soup, and then add one half of the can with water (this will help you rinse the can to get the remnants of the soup out of it). Bring it up to a simmer, stir well, and then take it off the heat. Your sauce is now ready.
The amount of filling you use depends on the size of the leaf you are using, so you will get a feel for it. Typically, the filling might be the size of two golf balls, or if you want to weigh the filling start with 3 oz portions and go up or down from there. Shape the filling in a football or oval shape, roll the leaf entirely around the filling, then tuck in the sides so what is left to roll is even on both sides. Roll up the rest of the way and put in roasting pan. Continue to roll until all your filling is gone.
Before you put a second layer of Gołąbki in the roasting pan, ladle some of your tomato soup sauce over the first layer and sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. When you finish putting the second layer in the roasting pan, repeat using the remaining sauce and sprinkle top layer with brown sugar.
You should have some leaves left over - or hopefully you saved the leaves that were torn or not good for rolling. Use those leaves to lay over the top of the stuffed cabbage. This will protect them from heat.
Put lid on roaster. Bake about 2 hours at 300-325 degrees. Remove from oven. They can be served immediately, but they are even better the next day or second day. Let cool down, leave in roaster and put in fridge. Warm in 300 degree oven for about an hour.

Cabbage rolls my favorite childhood food
When I was growing up, our cabbage rolls contained more rice than the ones I make now. However, I'm not feeding a family of 7, who worked on our farm all day, or in one of our Tobacco fields during its season. Now that the cost of food has skyrocketed, I may have to start utilizing more rice than the usual. Hope y'all doing well this Holiday season, stay safe and healthy.

Hi Alice! Rice sure was one way to stretch the food to go farther! Rice is still pretty inexpensive, so as the cost of meat continues to rise it would come in handy! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

You lost me with the tomato soup and no way brown sugar. My mother was from Poland and she would be rolling over in her grave if I used tomato soup or added brown sugar to her golapki. I'm from Connecticut and eating these at the Polish club or the Polish church tomato soup was never used. When I was in Poland last year they didn't use it either.
Nice to hear that someone else also uses tomato soup over stuffed cabbage 🥬.

These are best golabki I have ever made thanks to your recipe. The only change was to the condensed tomato soup. I didn’t thin it. The cabbage released enough water. Now I have tomato cabbage soup for lunch. My old recipe has been retired. Larry and I are moving back to Howell, Michigan in the next few months and are looking forward to visiting your kitchen. Thanks so much.

My mother in law was Russian and taught me how to make stuffed cabbage exactly as you do! The only thing different is putting the brown sugar in the sauce but I will try it on top of the roll. Also, I cut the cabbage leaves at the bottom of the rolls. I make it a few times a year and absolutely love it and I agree that the longer it stays in the fridge, the better it is. Ralph's joke about the cabbage leave and the bathing cap is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. Thanks again!

Hi Lucy - I think the brown sugar came about to cut some of the acidity of the tomato soup. You don't really taste the sweetness, but it's in there. Isn't Ralph a cut-up?!? It did kind of look like one of those old fashioned bathing caps!! Thanks so much!

Is it really necessary to emphasize "legal"? Simply said, the topic is of food, not of politics. But since you felt the need to emphasize, I feel the lord calling me to share: Many families and individuals will do what they are called to do by the same lord and creator. Please don't let politics and judgement detour yourself and others from the blessings to be acknowledged. 🙏✨️💙

Ah, thanks for this! My favourite childhood food! At our birthday we were allowed to choose dinner, and I always picked this. My mom made it not as separate rolls, but in layers in the pan. With some cumin in the stuffing too. I can still taste the almost scorched bits of the leaves, my favourite part. As soon as I have eaten room in my freezer, I'll make these.

Hi Rob - hope you give them a try!
Brought back nice memories. Thanks. Our Carholic Church congregation was at least half Polish, with a few other Eastern Europeans thrown in. Our Priest, Father Keenan was very Irish. He was very droll and he told wonderful stories, hilarious anecdotes, clean jokes, and riddles all of the time. The stories seemed to all have a teaching moment or thought. The jokes were made at his own expense. There was some type of competition between some of my friends moms over various recipes too. I was not old enough or interested enough in learning to cook at that point of my life so I didn't follow it. My sistet did all of the inside chores and I did all of the outside farm chores. Caring for and training our Quarter Horses. Caring for and feeding all of our beef cattle, dairy goats, meat pigs, laying and meat chickens, and meat rabbits. We hunted and fished. Gathered wild and home grown berry's. We had a small apple orchard. We always had huge gardens. My mom stored, dried, canned, or froze a large potion of our food. We all helped with that. As to cabbage rolls, I was one of the teenage "pairs of hands" volunteered by our moms to assemble the cabbage rolls for our fall church dinners so I was good at the rolling part of our assembly line. I did not make the meat mixture or the sauce so didn't know how simple it could be. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. The Church Ladies, as we called them, did make the sauce from a heavily guarded scratch recipe with stewed tomatoes The meats were spiced and ground together at our local meat locker. I'm pretty sure that there was more than salt & pepper spices in it from the smell. Once again thanks for the veritable flood of memories.
I adore you guys! Plus I could live in this kitchen for the rest of my life! LOVE IT!!!

I freeze My cabbage for a few weeks. Then unthaw in a cool place for a few days. They are so easy to work with. Love cabbage rolls.Baking them as We speak.Merry Xmas

Another great idea is putting sour kraut in between the layers. My sauce is tomato soup and water. Baked slowly and serve with sour cream❤
Made these yesterday and they were awesome. Can't wait to reheat the others tonight thanks for this and all the great videos

You save the outer leaves to line your pot - roasting pot with them.We used to cover the rolls with some leaves.True,the rolls are protected from burning,My mother never wasted anything. We also used far more rice and a chopped slab bacon cooked in a frying pan.Dumped everything into the rice mixture.Some like to use beef hamburger.It's your choice.

Great video! I really like how you guys never got in a hurry, but took your time explaining the process and taking little memory trips. The back & forth banter was, I thought, quite entertaining. I hope the cabbage rolls I make today look even half as good as yours.

Hi Kevin! What a great segment! I have so waited for your moms recipe and I have to say it brought tears to my eyes literally! What wonderful memories of making them with my Grammy and we used the exact same roaster pan. Food is memories and memories are food for me. When my Grammy made hers she used salt pork in them as well, have you ever done that? I believe she chopped it very tiny and fried it out and mixed it into the meat with all its drippings as well. That tomato soup is what really makes it? Thanks for doing these! Hope you and Ralph enjoyed!! Dziękuję!! Jeff xoxo

Hi Jeff! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it brought back some good memories of your Grammy! I've always made it this way, but someone else told me many years ago that they used a little salt pork in their recipe. I can see where the salt pork and the drippings would lend a very nice flavor to the filling! I put half of this batch in the freezer and we ate the other half over two days - so good!! Thanks!!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for some tips down memory lane. Not only did I grow up with these wonderful cabbage roll treasures...my Mom's family attended St. Josephat....as well as Sweetest Heart of Mary and St. Albertus. I now live in the the desert southwest...but you brought back beautiful nostalgic memories with this recipe and the reference to St. Josephat!!

Hi Cynthia!! St. Josaphat was my parish - made plenty of these cabbage rolls for church dinners. Good times!
Hi guys. My mom made hers the same way sans the brown sugar. On the other hand, my mother-in-law made hers in a stock pot on top of the stove and used diced and puréed tomatoes. Both were delicious. Thank you for another great video. Take care stay safe. ❤️

Hi Bonnie!! It's amazing how many variations of this dish I have seen and have heard of over the years! Seems every family has their own recipe! Hope all is well - stay strong!
Stuffed cabbage is part of my Heritage, my mom was Polish and she used to make these. Today more people are looking at ways to cut down on carbohydrates that have a high amount in rice. I now make this without the rice, but instead use riced cauliflower. I am a stickler for flavor and found that when I serve this to people without telling them how it’s made they all loved it. I’m also glad to see you use canned tomato soup.

Hi John! What a great idea to make with riced cauliflower instead of white rice to cut down on the carbs! I'll bet people didn't know the difference! Thanks so much!

I made a version with minced mushrooms instead of rice to cut the carbs. It was delicious. Of course it was not the neutral flavor of rice, but it was very good and not overwhelming. My Polish sister in law uses some mushroom soup in her sauce as well as tomato, so I guess it is not an out of place flavor.
I just found your videos, and I love the recipes as they remind me of my youth. We are a family of 10, and I remember the Seminarians coming home on Thursdays for a meal. I am Cuban, and we moved to Guatemala when the revolution. So, all the Seminarians from the Antilles will come once a week to spend it with us. Great memories!! My regards to Ralph and to Mary Ann. A hug to you!

I followed your recipe to a 'T', with the exception of a little chopped green pepper that I needed to use up. They are in the oven for round one as I type this. Thank you so much for sharing your mom's recipe. This is how I remember my Polish grandmother from Buffalo, New York making them. Update: They came out of the oven a few minutes ago and I cheated...couldn't wait for day two to test. Oh My Gosh! These are the best. I put a dollop of sour cream on top and they are how a cabbage roll should taste. Thank you!!!

Steve .. Trick next time for Cabbage. Core & seal tightly in plastic wrap or bag . Place in freezer. Remove at least a day before to thaw in your refrigerator. Leaves come apart easily... try it , you might like it . French girl in Canada 🇨🇦 Suzanne
