  • 12 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Cabbage Leaves: Remove the core with a knife and steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the steamer and separate outer leaves that are soft enough to remove from the head.
  • Return to the steamer to soften more leaves and continue until all leaves are soft.
  • Filling: Mix all the other ingredients except tomato juice and Sauer Kraut together.
  • Assemble the cabbage rolls by placing about a third to a half cup of meat mixture in the hollow of a deveined leaf with the enda that was near the core towards you.
  • Fold the end nearest you away and fold the sides inches
  • Layer Sauer Kraut, cabbage rolls, and any remaining cabbage leaves in a very large pot and pour tomato juice over the top.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat.
  • Simmer several hours or all day.
  • These are even better the next day!
