What it is
Cabbage rolls with soul: leaves wrapped around rice and minced meat, braised in tomato-sour cream sauce until everything melts together. Ingredients: white cabbage or fermented cabbage leaves, rice, minced pork and beef, onion, carrot, tomato paste, sour cream, bay, black pepper, dill. Recipe: 1) Blanch cabbage; shave the thick ribs; save the leaves. 2) Mix par-cooked rice with meat, onion and seasoning. 3) Roll snug parcels; pack tightly in a pot over spare leaves. 4) Pour tomato-cream sauce; braise low for an hour. Serve: with sour cream and dill, at weddings and Sunday tables. Flavor: sweet cabbage, savory filling, creamy tang. History: holubtsi ('little doves') echo Byzantine dolmas refracted through Slavic peasant kitchens; the tiny wedding versions, no bigger than a sparrow, are a point of pride.
