Recipe Name: Stuffed Cabbage (Golubki)

1 medium size head cabbage
1 lb. ground beef
½ lb. ground pork
½ lb. ground veal (optional, can use 1 lb pork instead)
1 Cup uncooked rice
1 onion (about ¼ cup) finely chopped
1 egg lightly beaten
½ tsp garlic powder or 1 tsp crushed fresh garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp coarse ground pepper
¾ cup tomato juice for meat mixture
Additional tomato juice (or Spicy V-8) for baking

In a large bowl, mix everything (except cabbage) thoroughly.

The cabbage can be tenderized in 1 of 2 ways.

1. Freeze entire head overnight in freezer. Remove from freezer day before preparing and let thaw. After thawing, peel off leaves and set aside.

2. Place cabbage in large pot of boiling water and peel leaves as they soften and separate from head.

Place a large spoonful of the meat mixture near the stem end of a cabbage leaf. Roll the stem side over the meat, fold in the sides and roll up.

Place all of the rolls in a large casserole dish or baking (lasagna) pan. Cover ½ way with additional tomato juice (Spicy V-8 is good too!) then cover pan with tin foil and bake at 350 for 1 and ½ hours.
