    Serves 6:
    ​1 large cabbage, stem removed
    ​2 carrots
    3 celery ribs
    For the filling:
    1 pound ground beef
    1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup water (or more)
    ​1 small onion
    1/2 cup uncooked white rice
    1/2 cup chopped parsley
    1/2 cup chopped dill
    ​1 teaspoon salt
    black pepper to taste
    ​5-6 cups chicken broth or water
    For the egg lemon sauce:
    3 egg yolks
    1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    ​Boil the cabbage in salted boiling water with the cored part facing down. Flip it around and boil an additional 10-15 minutes until the leaves begin releasing easily and have become somewhat translucent. They should not be overcooked to the point where they become soft and mushy.
    ​Pull the leaves out as they detach from the cabbage and set them in a colander to drain.
    ​When you peel off most of the leaves and you get to the core with the smaller leaves it will be difficult to remove the leaves without ripping them. At this point just remove the small bunch with the core attached and place in the colander. It will be easier to separate them once they are cooled. Most of these leaves will be too small to use for the cabbage rolls so they will be used as the bed or cover.
    ​Roughly chop the carrots and celery into large chunks and place them in the bottom of your pot. These will be the bed that the cabbage rolls will sit on so that they do not come in direct contact with the heat and cook more gently. This will prevent them from falling apart while simmering.
    Use some of the small and shredded pieces of cabbage to cover the vegetables.
    ​Place half of the onion in a food processor and pulse until it is finely chopped. Add the parsley and puree until smooth. Place this mixture in a large mixing bowl.
    ​Pulse the remaining half of the onion until finely chopped. Add the dill and puree until smooth. Place this mixture in the mixing bowl.
    ​Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, rice, olive oil, and water to the purred herbs and onion and mix well to combine. The best way to do this is by hand. Break up the ground beef and add 1/4 cup more water if the mixture is not very moist.
    ​A very moist, wet filling will make the best tasting cabbage rolls.
    ​To assemble the cabbage rolls, take a cabbage leaf and lay it flat on your work surface. Cut of the thickest part of the stem. Place a full tablespoon of the filling in the center, fold the left and right sides of the leaf over the filling then roll it up.
    ​Continue the same process adjusting the amount of filling depending on the size of the cabbage leaves (smaller leaves get less filling). Keep in mind that when the filling is cooked, the rice will expand a bit. Roll them up tight but giving enough room for the rice to expand.
    ​Some leaves may be very large. You can cut those in half and use them to make 2 rolls.
    ​Layer the cabbage rolls in the pot fitting them snug together.
    ​Cover them with cabbage leaves.
    Place a plate over them inverted. This will keep them in place so that they do not fall apart while cooking.
    ​Pour enough water or chicken broth to come right up to the plate.
    Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes.
    ​Carefully remove the plate and the extra cabbage leaves from the pot.

    ​Combiner the egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a bowl. Whisk well until smooth.
    Add some of the hot broth to the egg mixture. Whisk well.
    ​Season with some more salt and pour the egg lemon mixture into the pot. Carefully shake the pot from side to side to distribute the egg lemon sauce.
    ​Bring to a boil. Taste the seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Remove from heat and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken as it sits.
    ​Serve with some warm toasted bread.
    Enjoy!

    There is a shortcut for the cabbage leaves. Completely freeze the whole cabbage several days ahead so it's frozen solid, then defrost completely to use for cabbage rols. When defrosted, the leaves will be soft and ready to trim and roll. Made cabbage rolls for many years and this is a great time and energy savings, is much less mess and you won't burn your hands on hot cabbage leaves - this really works as long you make sure the cabbage has been completely frozen.

    Keep the Cabbage Water! Don't throw it out. Very lightly season it with a Chicken/Beef/Lamb/Pork Bouillon Cube/Powder, and adjust with salt. Keep it very light.
    This makes an excellent (Chinese style) broth for slurping after a main meal. Take the small leaves and shred them then lightly garnish the broth with them, as, "floaties" to identify it is cabbage broth. You can also take a few pieces of salted ham/pork and add to the broth as well.
    (When I lived and worked in Chengdu, this was available daily, at lunch times, in the canteens where I ate.)

    If you put some vinegar in with the water while cooking, it helps to neutralize the smell when cooking things like cabbage and cauliflower. Also, rubbing your hands with vinegar before washing with soap and water helps to neutralize the order from chopping onions, etc. Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and can be sprayed throughout the house in a spray bottle to neutralize other orders as well; it can also be placed in bowls throughout the house and will draw in orders to the bowl of vinegar.

    i gotta try this with the lemon sauce. my serbian friend showed me how to make the filling the same exact way, but they used a tomato sauce to cook this in. a romanian friend actually baked these in the oven with ground tomatoes and a bit of starch. amazing how many different cultures share the same base filling. i was also told that it tastes better with pickled whole cabbage leaves and to not use salt since it's already salty.

    Hey Dimitra! I'm Ukrainian and this is exactly how my mother and my grandmother are making their golubtcy - that's what we call it. In my family we also prepare them without tomato sauce and serve them in a little bit the cooking liquid/broth with lemon juice and a dollop of sour cream on top. We also use tons of dill and parsley. The only thing we leave out is the starch, so it's more of a liquid than a sauce. It's a very subtle and delicate yet hearty flavour.

    • @keelfly
      @keelfly Год назад

      It is rarely made with tomato sauce. I have never seen anyone making them like that. But I have heard that some make it with tomato. Maybe it is a Greek urban legend :D The classic recipe is made exactly as Dimitra showed in this video. Either with lemon egg sauce or just some lemon juice in the water. The lemon egg sauce drives them to perfection. (Try the same sauce in chicken soup!) You can keep the starch out. The eggs make the liquid thicken anyway. With the starch you make sure it happens properly. Makes the process a bit easier.

    I never post anything...but.....I really missed my yiayia's, ( grandmothers), cabbage rolls and my greek cookbook is packed because we are moving. So I searched the internet and compared recipes to find one that closely resembled the way yiayia made this dish. Yours was the closest with some interesting changes...the fresh herbs and the way the egg-lemon sauce is made. I just made this recipe and it will now be the way I make it from this day forward. It was delicious, the meat was moist and the sauce was so easy to do in this way. I can't thank you enough and I look forward to making more of your recipes.

    Dimitra,
    If you don’t want cabbage smell in your home don’t boil the raw cabbage.
    The trick is to freeze the cabbage heads solid in advance. Then fill your sink with hot water and let it thaw the leaves. You can peel the leaves right off.
    The freezing process damages the cells in the leaf, causing it to become soft and pliable once it thaws out.

    In Romania, we call them sarmale, and we make them with brined cabbage, which turns a bit sour. The sauce is made with tomato paste, thyme and a lot of the times, we add bits and pieces of smoked meat in between the rolls.
    I have never tried this variation, but I am going to give it a try next time I cook these, maybe for Christmas. Thank you for the recipe, I really enjoyed watching the video!

    • @abracadavra
      @abracadavra 4 года назад +3

      @@lisas9271 There are many recipes for sarmale and it can depend a lot on who is making them. The issue I see here is for you to find the brined cabbages leaves. The rest of ingredients are easy to find, no matter where you are in the world. You could search "reteta sarmale in foi de varza murata" and watch the videos, because most of them will be in Romanian, probably without subtitles.
      The way I make them is : 1 kg of minced meat (can be pork, beef but add a little fat to it, too lean meat will turn tough), 2-3 onions, 1-2 medium carrots, 100-150g of rice, tomato paste and/or passatta, if you want you can also add bacon slices, of course the brined cabbages, thyme, salt, pepper, a bit of paprika powder if you wish.
      I normally prepare the cabbages first. Usually brined cabbages are sour/salty so before anything I let the cabbages in a lot of cold water for a while so they leave a bit of saltiness out. After that I prepare the leaves. Separate them, cut their hard core, make them smaller if needed, stack them up on a side.
      After that, I chop onion, carrots (here you can add garlic if you want, a bit of bell pepper, like I said, this recipe is versatile) and put them in a hot frying pan with a bit of oil, until the onion is translucent. I add the meat and mix, let them cook together for maybe 10 minutes, then I add around 200ml of tomato juice or 2-3 spoons of tomato paste and water, just enough to cover the meat. Mix, cover, let it cook until water evaporates. Towards the end I add the rice in this mix. Let it cool a little bit.
      Then, grab one leaf of cabbage and one spoon of meat mixture and roll it in your palm, push the corners in. Try to not make it too tight or it will break, but also not too loose. Watch videos and see how they roll them. I put them all in a circular pattern in the pot, in layers. In between the layers I put pieces of bacon, maybe a bit of fresh thyme, maybe some pepper, chopped up tomato, spice it up however you wish. When I am done making the sarmale, at the last layer I combine again tomato sauce or paste with water and pour over the sarmale until they are covered with the tomato and water mix. I reccommend not filling the pot to the brim, or it will boil over. Cover the pot with a lid and put in the oven, 180 celsius for around 2 hours, checking now and then to see the water level. If you see there is not much juice there, add a bit more. They are done when there is no resistance when cutting one with a fork. The cabbage leaves should be melting in your mouth. They generally like lower temperature for many hours, so if you can regulate the temperature in your oven, you can leave them in at 100 Celsius for 4 hours or so. I can't so I keep them in at what my oven can do and just check their done-ness now and then.
      But yeah, search what I told you and watch the videos. Even without an English translation, they should be pretty easy to understand visually. As for the brined cabbage, try going to an Eastern European shop if you have around. It's a little more complicated to make your own. Good luck and I hope you make them. Much love from Romania.

    keep a small pot with water cinammon a teenie bit of vanilla and nutmeg at a very slow simmer. That will get rid of the cabbage smell. Open the windows too!

    I adore you and your incredible recipes. I'm going to share a fabulous tip I've been doing to make separating cabbage leaves less "funky smelling" in the house. Been using this to for over 10 years. The night before I plan to make cabbage rolls, I take out the core just like you did and stick it in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight. The next day I take the head of cabbage pute of the freezer then out of the bag and viola they peel off perfectly. No smell no fuss. You will need to cook them a bit longer because they weren't pre cooked but I'd rather not have the splash fest of boiling water and a messy cooktop to clean.
    Love your recipes and presentations and look forward to them. You rock 👍

    I love Cabbage Rolls but had only had them in a tomato base. I have tried this recipe and it is amazing. So good that even when I plan to make the tomato based recipe I grew up with- I change my mind while getting the cabbage ready for filling. I have not made any other recipe for cabbage rolls since I tasted this! Thank you Dimitra!

    Love your channel .I'm disabled with TBI, and feel like rambling today, passionate about food, learned Greek from 1st wife & Yaya in-law. Love to make dolmates with cabbage leaves in Avgolemono, never heard of cornstarch in it, more egg yolks instead, also drizzle the broth while whisking the eggs + give it a kiss as you add it to the broth, for love to prevent curdling. :)

    I love your videos so much. Thank you for making this. Similar yet different from the Lebanese version. We have mint, garlic and lemon and butter simmering along with the liquid. Yours looks delicious, so I'll make it this week for sure.

      Dimitra, what other recipes can you put that lemon egg sauce? Do you drizzle that on fish? I know that one of my favorite restaurants here in Montreal is a greek restaurant, and they sometimes give me this lemon sauce that is soooo good, but it looks like a creamy lemony sauce, fresh but doesn't look like it's got egg in it...looks super emulsified and yellowy, now I'm wondering if it's your egg sauce!

      @@marieanne7569 I know im 4 years late,but i think that sauce that you are talking about that they serve you with fish is most probably just lemon mixed with olive oil,thats the traditional thing to do with grilled fish,the one in question is mostly for recipes in pots/soups and such. We for sure do it with fish soups for instance. But not for grilled/fried fish.

    Hi Dimitria, I love everything you do on RUclips. To take care of undesirable smells in the kitchen I recommend boiling some water with vinegar, as soon as it comes to a boil turn down the heat to a simmer, this works for fish and other smells, also real estate agents recommend boiling water and cinnamon, but I think vinegar works best as it also disinfects the air and pot.
