Polish Gołąbki (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)
This Polish golabki dish is my grandma's recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls. It is easier to make in large batches since the prep is time-consuming. I double or triple the recipe and bake them in an electric roasting pan. I freeze any extras, and when they come out of the freezer, they taste even better because the cabbage has becomes more tender. My grandma made these with various combinations of beef, veal, and pork and constantly experimented to get them right. I typed this up based on her notes, but she cooked as I do. Experiment with the meats and the flavors until you get something you like. I like to mix up the type of spices I use; sometimes, they are plain with just the marjoram, and sometimes, I use Italian seasoning.
