September in the Great White North, it's getting colder by the day. In fact, it's already snowing on the mountains. What better dish to serve, but the awesome comfort food, Lazy Cabbage Rolls by Chef Bari.
I hope you enjoy my latest recipe. It's extremely easy to make and your whole family will praise you for it.
Yields: 8-10 people
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. Bacon medium cut (See Chef Bari's Photo)
1/2 Sweet White Onion small cut
1 lb. of ground hamburger
4 pieces of celery including leaves small cut ( Wash veggies first )
2 medium tomatoes medium cut
1 bunch of green onions small cut
3 cloves of fresh minced garlic ( it's ok to use powder garlic if you must)
1/2 cabbage julienne-cut (
See Chef Bari's Photo)
1 cup of rice
1 1/2 litres of tomato juice (1 large can)
1/2 cup of water if needed
Tip 1 : Prepare, as in, cut all your veggies, minced the garlic and cut the bacon before you start. This way you can concentrate fully on the cooking procedure. This is referred to as Mise en Place ( Putting in its place).
Tip 2 : To make it easier, use two pans. I like to use my brazier pan to pre-cook the items and place all ingredients into my roaster pan, as shown by photo below) You may just use your roaster if you like.
Pre-heat Oven 350 degrees F.
Method:
Sauté bacon until cooked (not rubbery - cooked).
Add half of sweet white onions and half of green onions. Sauté until veggies are transparent.
Place ingredients into your roaster.
On medium-heat cook ground hamburger to well done ( no pink what-so-ever)
Add other half of white sweet onions and green onion. Sauté until veggies are transparent. Season with salt and pepper.
Now - add your chopped tomatoes, minced garlic and celery. Cook all until transparent.
Place ingredients into roaster, mix evenly throughout.
Now - sauté your cabbage for 3 minutes. Take out and add to roaster. Mix evenly throughout.
Add 1 cup of rice. Again mixing evenly throughout.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add tomato juice until all ingredients are completely covered. Use water if necessary.
Place in your preheated oven (350 degrees F)
Cook for 30 - 35 minutes.
Voilà - Lazy Cabbage Rolls are a quick and easy dish to satisfy the whole family.
