Gołąbki (pronounced goh-WOAM-kee) are classic Polish cabbage rolls filled with a savory mixture of ground meat, rice, and seasonings, then wrapped in tender cabbage leaves and simmered in a rich tomato sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cabbage
• 1 lb ground pork or beef (or a mix)
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

1. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and boil the whole head until leaves are soft. Separate leaves and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix ground meat, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
3. Place a spoonful of filling on each cabbage leaf, fold sides, and roll up tightly.
4. Arrange rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
5. Mix tomato sauce and beef broth, pour over rolls.
6. Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1.5 hours, or simmer on the stovetop until tender.
7. Serve hot, topped with extra sauce.
