Avoid Soggy Cabbage Rolls
Did you know cabbage is one of those veggies that tends to hold a lot of moisture? If you don't handle it properly, you could end up with a soggy recipe.
After washing your cabbage leaves for this recipe (and any other cabbage treat), be sure to dry them properly. A fantastic way to do this is to wash your cabbage and let it sit in the collindar for an hour or so with some salt sprinkled on. After that, you should be able to drain excess moisture.
Don't have the time? Try blotting them with paper towel once you've washed them instead.

I could never make cabbage rolls with lean beef. I use half beef and half pork mixture for moist meat. Another trick with cabbage, I cut out the core and place down in 1-2 inches of water in microwave. Take out, remove first ones that come off easy and repeat. Takes all of 10 minutes to have all your leaves ready for stuffing.

Old family recipes are always the best because there is so much love that goes into making them. The sauce is different than what I normally use to make my cabbage rolls but it sounds flavorful. I'd probably leave out the sugar and add some chili pepper flakes to give it a little heat...but other than that there's really not much you can do to mess up something as yummy as cabbage rolls.

My dad grows cabbage and is always giving me some. This is a great way to use up some of it. The sauce has good flavor without being too sweet. The rolls also reheat well if you have any left over. You could use ground turkey, but beef has better flavor. If you go with turkey, season it more.

When I was a little girl I absolutely detested cabbage. Fortunately I grew up and now love it and so does everyone in our family so this is a great recipe for our household. It is a really nice meal and the sauce, which is totally delicious, is a very good accompaniment. Thanks very much for this great recipe which is now a family favorite!
