Great Village Community Kitchen is up and cooking!

Great Village Community Kitchen is up and cooking! Some of you who are not able to come out to cook with us have asked if we might post some recipes on the Great Village Community Association website. I am going to try posting one of the recipes we cooked last night here in the Blog. We made amazing Cabbage Rolls with Great Village cabbages donated by growers Harold and Patti Sharpe and family.

Cabbage Rolls
24 large cabbage leaves
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup milk or water
1 8 ounce can tomato soup
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 onion)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tsp. Garlic powder—and add whatever other spices you like
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cups cooked rice
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce or soup
1 can diced tomatoes (seasoned ones are good)
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

Immerse cabbage leaves in large kettle of boiling water for about three minutes or until limp; drain. Combine eggs, milk, 1 can tomato soup, onion, salt, pepper, beef, garlic and spices and cooked rice. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of each leaf; fold in sides and roll ends over meat. Place in slow cooker pot or roasting pan.

Combine tomato sauce and tomatoes with brown sugar, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours in slowcooker or bake in oven, 350 degrees F for ½ hour, then 325 degrees F for 1 ½ hours.
