Maybe it was on a blog someone linked to? I think there is a special blog search engine

maybe someone here knows what it is?

((Pat))

 
oh good point, didn't think about that, will see what I can find...I'm a woman on a mission now. ;o)

 
Could it be this one from Joe?

And here's a HARD way, LOL. Braised whole cabbage: I did this once. It was spectacular, but

a lot of work.

With ingredients for cabbage rolls (I used the ham one I posted above), take a 3-4 qt. round metal bowl, put in an overlapping layer of outer leaves, stem ends up, then stuffing, then more leaves, stuffing, etc., finishing with leaves. Pour in chicken stock to almost cover the cabbage. Cover with buttered foil and a lid of some sort. Set in a 400* oven for 2-1/2 hours. It is done at an internal tremperature of 160* (use an intstant-read thermometer)

Meanwhile, blanch 6 outer leaves from another cabbage until just tender and refresh under cold water to set the color. Prepare 2 cups of good homemade tomato sauce.

When the cabbage is done, drian the liquid from it into a saucepan. Boil it down to 1/3 cup, then fold in the tomato sauce. Unmold the cabbage onto a platter, drape with the fresh green leaves so it will look, once again, like acabbage, spoon a little sauce around, and bring to the table. After the applause dies down, cut into wedges and serve with more tomato sauce.

And the above post he refers to:

Braised Cabbage Rolls with Ham and Breadcrumb Stuffing

This is Julia Child's version. It's really good, and also good cold the next day.

Stuffing:

1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 1-1/2 inch cube of Swiss Cheese, roughly diced
2 cups or so scraps or pieces of ham, trimmed of fat
2 eggs
1 large clove of garlic, pureed
1-1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs.
Seasonings: salt, pepper, and sage

Drop the onion into a food processor and pulse into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the cheese and ham and chop with 5 or 6 pulses. Pulse in the eggs and garlic, then the crumbs. Season highly to taste.

Cabbage Rolls:

(for about 12 rolls)

The blanched leaves from an 8-inch cabbage (cut out the core, plunge into a big kettle of boiling water, nudge the leaves off with two wooden spoons, and let them simmer a few minutes.)
3 cups of the above stuffing
2 Tbs. butter
1 cup sliced onions
Salt and pepper
3-1/2 cups peeled, seeded and juiced tomatoes, cut up, (or drained Italian canned tomatoes, or a combination.)
2 bay leaves

Remove the tough part of the central stem from the lower part of the cabbage leaves, as necessary. Spread one leaf (or several small leaves combined) cupped side up on your work surface; divide the filling into 12 portions. Spread a cylinder of filling onto each leaf and roll up into a sausage shape, enclosing the filling completely.

Set a large skillet or chicken fryer over moderate heat with the butter, add the onions and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, until limp and translucent. Arrange the cabbage rolls best side up over the onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper, pour the tomatoes over them, and bury the bay leaves in the pan. Bring to the simmer, cover, and simmer slowly, basting occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Taste and correct seasoning.

(I find they take longer to get really tender. I also find the stuffing recipe makes more than 3 cups, so I make a few more than 12)

May be braised in advance and reheated.

Suggested accompaniments: navy beans or boiled potatoes, or just good French bread--and a simple red wine.
