Golumpkies
Golumpkies are fun to make and fun to eat! My version is to use ketchup inside and serve it on the top as well. I know some people use tomato sauce. I learned from my Polish friend Anna the best way to remove the leaves intact while they are boiling. It is a technique that works for me! Makes: 10 Golumpkies.

Calories: 459
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage large
- water to boil the cabbage
- 2 teaspoons salt for the water
- ½ pound ground beef or ground meat of your choice
- ¼ cup onions chopped fine
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 cups rice cooked and salted
- ½ teaspoon salt for the meat mixture
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Cut the core out of the middle of the cabbage.
- In a large soup pot, add the water and 2 teaspoons of salt and the cabbage and bring the water to a boil. Separate each outer cabbage leaf as it breaks apart from the head. Cook the leaves just until they are fairly soft.
- Carefully transfer the leaves into a colander to cool and drain. Have patience and take your time. The leaves will all fall off eventually.
- In the meantime, in a large skillet, sauté the ground beef and onion together until the meat is browned. Drain any grease from the skillet.
- Stir in the cooked rice and the ketchup.
- Season with the salt and pepper and parsley.
- Open one cabbage leaf, add ¼ to ⅓ cup of the filling to the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and then roll it into a log.
- Use about a half cup of water just to cover the bottom of your casserole dish.
- Place the logs seam side down into the casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered at 350° for 40 minutes.
- Serve with ketchup!
EXTRA TIP:
VARIATION: Ground chicken, turkey or lamb, or brown rice would be good too!
