Stuffed Cabbage brought to you by Liz

First of all I would like to thank everyone for sending us information to put on this blog. This helps keep the blog interesting as well as easy. We hope you had a wonderful spring break. From those that I have talked to it sounds like a fun time was had by all.

This is a recipe that Liz learned while taking a cooking class from her contact teaher in preperation of going home for christmas and impressing her friends and family. I have tasted her leftovers of this and must say, it was delicious, and this is coming from one of the more picky CETPers.
Stuffed Cabbage
2 heads of cabbage
1 can of sour cabbage (.5 kilo)
1kg minced meat (turkey or pork)
60g rice
2 big white onions
5tsp paprika
1tsp salt
2tsp black pepper

Cabbage leaves: Core 2 heads of cabbage. Boil pot of H20. Pour hot H20 over the heads of cabbage in a large bowl. Let the cabbage sit in hot water.

Stuffing: In a bowl combine minced meat, spices (3tsp paprika), 1 onion finely chopped, 10ml warm water and a handful of sour cabbage.

In a shallow, wide large pot: cover bottom of pan with olive oil and half a chopped onion. simmer for 3 minutes. take off heat and add 2tsp paprika and mix. Add half of the rest of the sour cabbage spread on the bottom of the pan. Stuff the cabbage leaves after draining the water and peeling leaves from the head. Place the stuffed leaves on the bed of sour cabbage. Cover the top with the rest of the sour cabbage. Fill the pot with H20. Cook on low heat and cover the pot, but leave a crack open. Cook like this for about 2 hrs. Before serving add 1 cup of water, cook 10 more minutes and serve. Serve with a side of sour cream.

**Stuffing the leaves can be tricky and messy. Hold the leaf flat in one hadn and add a handful of stuffing. Wrap the leave as best you can and seal off the ends the best you can. Practice makes perfect!
