Dumplings with mashed (stuffed cabbage with mashed) – An autumn delicacy If you are looking for a recipe that makes you feel at home, reminds you of family meals, and delights you with its rich aroma, you have come to the right place. Dumplings with mashed, also known as stuffed cabbage with mashed, are a traditional dish that combines the flavor of meat with the fine texture of mashed, all wrapped in tender cabbage leaves. This recipe is not only nourishing but also full of history and tradition, being lovingly prepared by generations. Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 2-3 hours Total time: 2 hours and 30 minutes - 3 hours and 30 minutes Number of servings: 6-8 Ingredients: - 2 medium-sized cabbages - 1 kg minced meat (a mix of pork and beef) - 3 medium onions - 300 g mashed (ground wheat) - 2-3 tomatoes - 200 ml tomato paste - salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, dill (to taste) - oil for sautéing Step 1: Preparing the cabbage Start by blanching the cabbage. Fill a large pot with water, add salt, a little vinegar, thyme, and peppercorns. Bring the water to a boil and add the cabbages. Let them cook for 5-10 minutes until the leaves become slightly flexible. Carefully remove the cabbages leaf by leaf and cut the stems. Be cautious of the hot water to avoid burns. Step 2: Preparing the mashed Wash the mashed in a sieve under cold water, then let it soak in warm water to hydrate. This will help achieve a finer texture for the filling. Step 3: Sautéing the onions Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat a little oil in a pan over low heat, add the onions, and cover to sweat. Stir occasionally until golden. Finally, add a teaspoon of paprika and the mashed, stirring gently. Pour in a glass of water and let it simmer until the water evaporates, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Step 4: Filling mixture In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with the onion and mashed mixture. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and dill, and add a glass of tomato paste. Mix well until homogeneous. Step 5: Wrapping the stuffed cabbages Take a cabbage leaf and place half a tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center. Wrap the leaf, folding the ends inward to prevent it from unraveling. Repeat the process until you finish all the filling. Step 6: Preparing the pot for cooking In a large pot, place the cabbage stems at the bottom, along with sprigs of dill and thyme. Arrange the stuffed cabbages side by side, ensuring an even layer. On top, add slices of tomatoes and the remaining cabbage leaves that were not used. Step 7: Cooking the stuffed cabbages Prepare a mixture of water with salt and tomato paste, which you pour over the stuffed cabbages, being careful not to cover them completely. Cover the pot with a lid and choose your preferred cooking method: you can either put it in the oven at a low temperature for 2-3 hours or simmer it on the stove. Personally, I prefer the oven method, as it makes the stuffed cabbages drier and more aromatic. Serving and suggestions After the stuffed cabbages are cooked, serve them hot, alongside rich sour cream. Add a sprinkle of fresh dill for extra flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with warm polenta or a fresh summer salad. Useful tips and variations - If you want to add a bit of spiciness, you can sprinkle some dried chili pepper in the filling. - For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with chopped mushrooms and add ground nuts for texture. - You can experiment with different spices, such as cinnamon or allspice, to give a unique taste. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use sweet cabbage instead of pickled cabbage? Yes, but you will need to blanch it longer to become soft enough. 2. How long can I keep the stuffed cabbages? The stuffed cabbages keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days or can be frozen for later use. 3. Can I use chicken instead of pork and beef? Absolutely! Chicken makes the stuffed cabbages lighter, but make sure to adjust the cooking time. This dumpling recipe with mashed is not only a delicious dish but also an experience that brings the family together. Enjoy your meal!
