Description

A comfort-packed twist on a classic deli sandwich, these Reuben Stuffed Cabbage Rolls feature ground beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and a tangy Russian-style sauce baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale

8 large cabbage leaves (blanched until pliable)
1 lb (450g) ground beef or shredded corned beef
1 cup finely chopped sauerkraut (drained)
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp caraway seeds (optional)
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
½ cup ketchup


Instructions

Core a head of cabbage and blanch whole leaves in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until soft. Drain and pat dry.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix ground beef or shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, sautéed onions and garlic, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Lay out one cabbage leaf, place ⅓–½ cup of filling in the center, fold in the sides, and roll up snugly. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce (mixed Russian dressing and ketchup) on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange rolls seam side down.
Top the rolls with the remaining sauce, spreading evenly.
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with extra cheese if desired, and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill and serve with extra Russian dressing on the side.

Notes

For authentic flavor, use shredded corned beef instead of ground beef. Red cabbage works if blanched well. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
