Gołąbki, pronounced go-WOMP-kee

   Yep, that's right...I said go-WOMP-kee LOL. At least that's what my research verified. This is of course, the beloved Polish stuffed cabbage roll. 

I suppose there are as many different recipes and techniques for golobki as there are Polish grandmas with scarves on their heads. Some are rolled and boiled, some are baked...it's all a matter of what it is you like. This is a recipe that I used cooking for the boys at the firehouse, and it became quite popular. And I have to tell you, it isn't easy to make 16 hungry firefighters happy. 

Golabki

1 Large head cabbage
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1/2 pound bacon
1 - 14.5 ounce can stewed tomatoes, diced and divided
1 - 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 onion, minced
1 large egg
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp Bell's Seasoning*
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1. Heat Oven to 350°
2. Core the cabbage, and steam in a large pot until outer leaves are workable...remove outer leaves and return to steamer.
3. Mix the pork, beef, 1/2 the tomatoes, onion, egg, rice, celery salt, parsley and Bell's seasoning.
4. Place cabbage leaf on board, add stuffing mixture(about meatball sized), roll up leaf and place in roasting pan seam side down.
5. Top cabbage rolls with remaining tomatoes, tomato sauce, and a layer of bacon.
6. Cover with foil and bake 60 minutes, then remove foil and cook another 30 minutes, or until bacon is done.

* If you can't get Bell's where you live, any good poultry seasoning will do.

	I'm hoping that the next time our newest member J PEEP makes his, he'll post them here. John has a more traditional recipe (boiled and served with homemade pierogi). I've had them many times, and they are absolutely wonderful.
