Golabki (pronounced gah-wum-key) is a Polish
dish, which is really stuffed cabbage leaves.
I tried to make it on one occasion but ran
into some difficulties. Not wanting to throw
away
the ingredients, I came up with the following
dish.
| Lazy Golabki | Serves 6 | ![]() |
||
| 3 cups cabbage, shredded | 2 cups cooked rice | |||
| 1 large onion, minced | 28-oz. tomato puree | |||
| 1 tbsp. olive oil | ˝ cup water | |||
| 1 cup sauerkraut | 1 tsp. dried thyme | |||
| 2 lbs. ground turkey | freshly ground pepper | |||
| 1 tbsp. butter | ||||
| Steam cabbage for 10 minutes. Sauté onion in olive oil for | ||||
| 3 minutes in an iron skillet over moderate heat. Add sauerkraut | ||||
| and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove to a | ||||
| small bowl. Cook ground turkey in butter in the skillet until | ||||
| completely browned. In a deep baking pan or casserole dish, layer | ||||
| half of the cabbage followed by half of the sauerkraut. Sprinkle meat | ||||
| on top and do the same with the rice. Spread remaining sauerkraut on | ||||
| top followed by the rest of the cabbage. Mix remaining ingredients and | ||||
| pour over the top. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 1 hour. Serve. | ||||
