Anybody have a "to die for" cabbage rolls recipe? Have a recipe I have used before but last year turned out a litte dry. Want to make them ahead of time for New Years day.

TIA

If you don´t mind, post your recipe, so that anything I may say doesn´t result redundant.

You do have a large terracotta pot (cazuela), don´t you?

1 lb. ground beef (part pork if desired).
1 cup raw rice
1 large onion chopped
2 pieces celery chopped
1 small bell pepper chopped
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper

Combine all of the above ingredients. Roll into cabbage leaves.

Place rolls in roaster, pour over them one large can peeled tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce 2 cups water. Cover and bake @350 for 1 hour. Turn rolls over and bake another hour.

To note I used more seasoning, and I did add ground pork. My mom used this recipe for years and hers were always great but I know she "tweeked" it.

Always used my large Magnalite roaster.

I sauté the beef with pork mixture, along with alot of onion, in olive oil and pimentón. Add the rice after this has come along a bit, heavy on oil, and a bit of water, like a paella. Your chopped pepper would go in here, too.

Strain.

Steam the leaves of cabbage, then roll.

Put them in the cazuela, with the sauce which you´ve previously drained and set aside, and pop in the oven or cooker.

Cook as you mentioned, taking care to turn.

Probably what you will notice, favorably so, is that the rice is impregnated with the flavor of all the ´stuffing´ingredients.

Done this way, it will not be dry.

Thanks Dandy, will try your suggestions - IF I don't get lazy and just do a recipe I have for a cabbage casserole, which is basically cabbage rolls without the rolling part!

Do a corned beef brisket and lightly steam the cabbage by dropping the leaves into boiling water for a minute or so. Then, take spread some creole mustard on the inside of of the cabbage leaf and roll up a slice of corned beef inside of it. Slice it in the middle at a diagonal and serve it like an egg roll. So good. Corned Beef Cabbage Rolls.

Real easy, too.

A little light broiling action helps too, especially if you´re heavy on sauce.

I had cabbage rolls at Poseiden in Lafayette yesterday and brainstormed that filling them with boudin (sans casing) would be quite tasty. I'm going to try it the next time I make them. I'll let you folks know how it turns out.

FWIW, you don't have a "great" cabbage roll unless you top it with sauerkraut.
