Another Chef John is Traveling Rerun Cabbage Rolls a Mother Knows Best
Hello from freezing western New York. It looks like Im probably not going to have time or the opportunity to film any video recipes while Im here, but here is a winter classic that Im posting along with an important update to the procedure.My mother had some amazing cabbage rolls waiting for Michele and me upon our arrival. As we ate I could tell by the look in my wifes eyes she was thinking, "yours are good, but these are better." When youve been together as long as we have, you can actually read each others minds.
After a brief conversation it was discovered that while I use the same ingredients as mom, she cooks hers an additional hour. This explained the extra tender filling, and even sweeter, more tender cabbage. So, here is my cabbage roll recipe video (inspired by my Aunts recipe - you can read that original post here, and get the ingredients) and as you watch please take note the cooking time is not 2, but 3 hours. Thanks mom. Enjoy!
Update to the Update! After further discussions with my mother, and my aunt who I credited with the recipe, it seems that Im using several ingredients not officially sanctioned by the family elders. Apparently they dont use Parmesan or egg in the mixture, and it been "suggested" that if I continue using those ingredients I should stop telling people its their recipe!
