For as long as I have been alive my Dad has been making cabbage rolls like this on New Year's Day. There is some
superstition that cabbage brings one good luck in the year. I won't argue with it because my life has been pretty smooth sailing for the past 24+ years. I know. I'm getting old. Let's move on.
The rolls in the pot! After I finally convinced Jackson that these are not baked and that I'd seen Dad cook them for years in a pot, we got started. I also had to convince Jackson that I didn't have to cook the rice beforehand. Again. I've seen it done before and he hadn't. After that he gave in and let me lead. Thank you. ;)
Yum! The finished product! A cabbage roll is just hamburger (I know. I do not like hamburger but I make an exception for cabbage rolls), onions, white rice (UNCOOKED!) and salt. You roll that mixture into a ball and stuff into the cabbage leaf. It is quite easy and really fun!
And I have added a photo of
MacKenzie because she was looking sharp for the new year.
