  • Hello, my name is Alina, I live in Ukraine and I want to introduce you to real Ukrainian cuisine. Today I prepared cabbage rolls for the whole family. Each hostess prepares this delicious dish in her own way, but I believe that this is the most delicious recipe for cabbage rolls:
    Ingredients for Golubtsi:
    - cabbage
    - rice
    - minced meat
    - onion
    - carrots
    - tomato paste
    - homemade sour cream
    - garlic
    - oil for frying
    - salt and pepper

    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!!

      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!

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.

    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!

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.

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.

      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 😄

      @@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.

    Very interesting! We also have our own traditional dishes and we have one very similar to this. Its cabbage wrapped exactly the same but its steamed with the filling inside. The filling is usually pork(can sub for chicken, beef, or shrimp), minced carrots, minced wood ear mushroom, vermicelli noodles (aka clear/glass noodles), garlic, onion, egg(s), and cilantro. Our has a South East Asian influence! Its cool to see similarities between different cultures!

    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

    Alina. My heritage is Austro-Hungarian, we make our family recipe often. Our recipe and cooking technique is very similar. For the stuffing we use 1/3 cooked rice, 1/3 ground beef and 1/3 pork sausage. Then roll the leaves and simmer in a big pot. After they are cooked we put lots of sautéed butter and onions over the top. So a little simpler but very delicious!

As an adult? I absolutely love cabbage rolls! I am pretty sure my Mom used to make them the way that you just did. Our community in Canada had a lot of Polish and Ukranian immigrants. Maybe that is where my Mom got the recipe. Looks like your recipe is cat and dog approved also! ;) Thanks for sharing! Looks delicious! Prayers for all of Ukraine and her people! Jim G.
