🍲 Traditional Hungarian "Gefilte Kroit" (Stuffed Cabbage)

Description

🍲 Traditional Hungarian “Gefilte Kroit” (Stuffed Cabbage) 🛒 Ingredients: The Meat Filling: • 1 kg Ground Beef • ¾ cup White Rice (Uncooked) • 1 large Onion (Grated or finely chopped) • 1 Egg • 2 tsp Salt 🧂 • 1 tsp Black Pepper • 1 tsp Garlic Powder The Sweet & Sour Sauce: • 600 mL Tomato Paste (Concentrate) • 4 cups Water 💧 • 1/3 cup White Sugar (or brown sugar) • ¼ cup Fresh Lemon Juice • 2 tsp Salt 🧂 The Cabbage: • 1 Large Green Cabbage (Pro tip: Freeze it 2 days before, then thaw to skip the boiling!) 👩‍🍳 Method: 1️⃣ Prep the Cabbage: Peel the softened leaves carefully so they don’t tear. 2️⃣ The Filling: Mix the beef, rice, onion, egg, and spices. Gently roll about 2 tbsp of meat into each cabbage leaf. Seal it as shown in the video. 3️⃣ The Sauce: Whisk the tomato paste, water, sugar, salt, and lemon until smooth. It should be a perfect sweet-and-tangy balance! 4️⃣ Pack the rolls in seam-side down. Pour the sauce over the top. 5️⃣ The Slow Cook: Simmer on very low heat for 3 - 12 hours. ⚠️ Chef’s Note: Keep an eye on the pot! If you see the sauce getting too thick while cooking, add a little bit of water gradually to keep the rolls moist and help the rice cook through.# #StuffedCabbage #GefilteKroit #HungarianFood #JewishCuisine
