This week's star is the cabbage. I found one in my weekly delivery and did not know what to do with it. I wanted to find out something very simple, quick which is good for babies from 8 months old. And obviously I can find the ingredients I need. I could not come up with any better than the stuffed cabbage which is a Hungarian dish, one of my favourites.
How did I make it?
I used a small cabbage, half kg mince (best if you mix some different ones), some regular rice to make the meat-dough. I added salt, pepper, red paprika powder and garlic powder. You may serve it with soured cream and fresh bread.
Put the cabbage to a pan and add water, then start cooking it. When the colour changes and it is obviously done, take it out very carefully and leave it to cool. Once it is cold, cut each leaf and place them on each other.
You add everything else to a bowl and mix it - I do it by hand. Then just fill up the leaves and place them to a pot which is exactly the good size, so no cabbage can fall apart. If there are spaces between, put there smoked beef or ham or gammon pieces. Add water enough to cover the little cabbage packs.
Cook it covered. It might take for hours. But worth it, trust me.
