Instructions:
-
Blanch Cabbage:
- Blanch the cabbage(s) in boiling water for approximately 10 minutes until slightly tender.
- Once cooled, carefully separate the leaves.
-
Prepare Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, salt, pepper, raw rice, shredded cabbage, shredded potato, eggs, diced onions, diced green bell pepper, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Add a small can of tomato sauce to the mixture and mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Assemble Cabbage Rolls:
- Place equal portions of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf.
- Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly. Secure each roll with toothpicks to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
-
Cook Cabbage Rolls:
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in each of two large skillets over medium heat.
- Arrange the cabbage rolls side by side in the skillets.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining tomato sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice to make the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls in both skillets.
-
Simmer and Serve:
- Cover the skillets with lids and simmer the cabbage rolls for 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lids and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, basting occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the cabbage rolls.
- Serve hot, and for an extra kick, add a dash of Louisiana hot sauce on top for those who enjoy it.
