Traditional Ukrainian stuffed cabbage rolls! Original Holubtsi recipe

[@SkullJelly]

Polish, German, Ukrainian and could eat cabbage rolls 4 times a week. When I was a little dude my grandma made them with potato pancakes that were freshly grated and formed into little happy cakes. I think I'll make me some this coming weekend. God bless all of you and pray for those in Ukraine.

Just a little tip I learned, if you freeze your heads of cabbage for a couple of weeks, that will eleminate the need to boil them. The leaves become very tender and plyable plus you are not losing any of the vitamins. Just make sure you give the cabbage enough time to thaw! Loved watching you make them!!

[@bkm2797]

Kathy, do you place it in the refrigerator or on the counter to thaw?

[@kathywestmiller9539]

@@bkm2797 Actually I place them in the sink for quite a while while they drain. If you try this, please let me know what your thoughts are. I myself won't make them any other way. it saves so much time.

[@bkm2797]

Thanks, so it's straight from the freezer to the sink and not the counter where it may release a good deal of moisture...good idea. It may be awhile before I give this a try, but I always appreciate learning good ideas in how yo do something better. Thank you!

In Windsor, Ontario my Polish and Hungarian friends would spend hours preparing cabbage rolls for the Holidays. We would go over after ice flow riding and a swimming in wet suits in the Detroit River around Amhertstburg. Then we would go to their homes and feast on Turkey, cabbage rolls, butter horns and a coke and rum from Pops. I miss those days 60 years ago. I don’t see the old gang at all, many have passed on.

[@igortumbas2769]

Hey there Alina! This reminds me of home cooking I grew up with. I'm from the Former Yugoslavia and across the country we have a similar version of this dish. Each state and region has their own take on cabbage rolls and even each family has their own take on it. The version I grew up with was cooked with sauerkraut leaves and was more heavy on the pork (or beef or the combination of) mince. For the fancier version, cured, smoked and dried pork would be added to the pot with the cabbage rolls. Sometimes shredded sauerkraut would be spread around them too. My mum preferred to use sweet Hungarian paprika instead of tomato but I've seen some recipes that include a bit of tomato paste in the meat and rice mix. It would be served with either mashed potatoes or corn bread. Lovely to see the Slavic food being promoted. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@delynndehardt1859]

We never used tomato in ours. Just onion, carrot, celery in with rice/meat (ground pork, but could have beef mixed in. If it was for me, then caraway, but others didn't care for it, so had parsley & thyme. Layered in big pot with sauerkraut & additional chopped cabbage (the broken leaves). Water & apple juice added. Cooked till tender. Serve with mashed potatoes.

These aren't traditional recipes though. Ukrainians did not grow rice in any significant quantity until the 20th century. Rice has only been widely available in Ukraine since 1.5 generations ago. So, basically, your Grandma maybe made it with rice, but her mom probably did not.

As a child I was horrified by "dog food." I absolutely was truly horrified people would put that disgusting, hard, stinky, dirty stuff in a dirty bowl for their dogs. My grandfather had l little tiny 'house' on the farm where every morning at 4 he would take last night's leftovers in a little pail, let me get the eggs & feed the chickens, and he would cook fresh eggs and make pancakes he called dog bread with the leftovers and cook up other odds and ends from the freezer - leftover parts after butchering a hog or beef bone marrow - in big cast iron skillets - and he fed his loyal pack the way he loved them. (And they would have given their lives for their master.) That's how I grew up with dogs (and animals in general). I feed mine the same way Pepa did. I don't feed them anything I wouldn't eat, but of course don't feed them 'everything' I 'would' eat. In that respect they eat Better than I do 🙂 They don't eat sugar or anything bad for them - Can't say that for myself 😄 Love how a Ukranian cabbage roll video can make me reflect on my grandfather 🤍 Thank you! It's like a little vacation in reverie.

@@gidget101 Well said Gidget. Fancy feeding your dog commercially made muck relying on manufacturers to be truthful with the contents. Like you we fed our pets real food that we made and ate ourselves. Of course some things we can eat cats/dogs may not be able to so they were excluded, but otherwise they ate what we ate. No canned muck or pretend food out of a box. And people do not seem to realise it is what kills their pets and gives them similar illnesses we get when we eat processed foods too much. Fresh, natural foods is what man and beast is meant to eat not this convenience muck they call food.

Yeap, but you jumped Romania who gathered them all recipes in the middle, and yet makes it like this and in 100 more ways. In Romania the cabbage used for this is usually pickled, as It gives better taste and is easier to manipulate. Larger cabbages are better since the leaves are bigger and thinner at the edge, and it is the thinner leave that is usually used.

We call that "sarma" in Bulgaria. We have 2 types - cabbage and a grape leaf ones. For the cabbage ones we usually use sour cabbage as it is widely available in the winter. For the orher type we use greap leafs and the rolls become smaller. I do not know if the fillings have some differences.

Exactly the same in Romania.Even the word is also "sarma".

It’s Turkish word wrapping it’s Sarma for cabbage rolls we called “ Lahana Sarmasi”

In certain parts of Hungary it's called "szarma" as well.

Muito lindo o vídeo o lugar é encantador, a neve caindo, os pinheiros, as casas de madeira, esse forno a lenha, e os rolinhos de repolho que minha sogra era especialista tendo aprendido com libaneses, tem alguma diferença mas o estilo é igual e o seu certamente é delicioso. Gostei muito do silêncio, nada de música ou falação desnecessária. Parabéns.

Amazing how a simple old world dish like cabbage rolls is such a favorite. My grandmother made them when I was a kid and it was a favorite to me. So much so that It's what I always requested them on my birthday. I tend to make a tex-mex spin on them using ground beef and mexican seasoning and all the hot sauce you can handle. They are really good. Love the video, Slava Ukraine!

this was really beautiful to watch! The sound of the fire and of the food cooking in the pans, the beautiful nature and landscapes of Ukraine, and your skilled hands showing all the passages of the recipe. Well done! The style of your videos could be a winning formula for a tv serie on recipes from the world.

Hi Alina, thanks for the nice video, the food looks really good. I don't know what the situation with veterinarians looks like in Ukraine right now. Many years ago I picked up a 12 year old cat from a cat shelter she was in bad condition with matted fur that smelled a bit bad, one of the claws was about to grow into her paw and her front paws were angled outwards like your dog's . I bathed her and took her to the vet for a health check and to cut the claw that was about to grow into her paw. The vet told us that the angled front paws are a sign of rheumatism and that she probably had pain in the joints. The vet prescribed a medicine called Metacam, it worked perfectly and Emma lived for several years, she got cancer and was euthanized at the age of 18. There are different stages of the disease so it is not certain that your dog is in pain all the time, it usually gets worse in cold weather and rain. I hope that you, your family, friends and animals are safe and that this war will be over soon. Much love
