UKRAINIAN BEET GREEN CABBAGE ROLLS
This recipe substitutes beet greens for cabbage leaves to make cabbage rolls. My mother used to make these and always served them with a cream sauce instead of tomato sauce. They are fast and easy to make, as you don't cook the beet greens like you must with cabbage leaves. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat; allow to cool. Place the bread crumbs into a large bowl; pour the milk over the crumbs. Let stand until the crumbs have absorbed the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked onion, ground beef, ground pork, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 2 large beet leaves; set aside 2 more leaves for the top. Lay remaining beet leaves for filling onto a flat work surface, and place a heaping teaspoon of the meat mixture at the wide end (bottom) of each leaf. Roll the leaf up, enclosing the filling, then place into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling mixture. Pour the chicken broth over the filled rolls, then place the last 2 reserved leaves over the top of the rolls.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the beet leaves are tender and the filling is cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
- Remove the dish from the oven, and pour the liquid from the bottom of the baking dish into a small saucepan. Whisk the flour and cream together in a bowl until smooth, and stir the cream mixture gradually into the pan juices. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-low heat, and cook gently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. To serve, arrange the filled rolls in a serving dish and pour the sauce over the rolls. Sprinkle with chopped dill.

Steps:
- Cook the rice according to the package directions. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot add the bacon and let cook until it starts to become slightly crispy and most of the fat is rendered, around 7-9 minutes. Add the onions to the hot pan and cook 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Once the onions are cooked add in the beet greens and cook 3-4 minutes until wilted. Add the dill and the cooked rice. Mix to combine, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Once the rice is evenly distributed in the pan drizzle the cream over top. Bake 20-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cream bubbles.
UKRAINIAN BEET LEAF ROLLS STUFFED WITH BREAD
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, use a fork to combine yeast with 1/4 cup of the warm water and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together milk, the remaining 2 cups warm water, 1 ounce melted butter, and yeast mixture.
- Add 4 cups of the flour and mix just until well combined.
- Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Punch dough down and transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, if desired.
- Add beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon salt, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and remaining 3 1/4 cups flour.
- Knead until dough is smooth.

- Gather the ingredients.
- When the dough has doubled, punch it down.
- Take a walnut-sized piece of dough, elongating it to a rectangular shape.
- Place it on a beet leaf.
- Roll up loosely, as you would for cabbage rolls, except leave the sides open to allow for the dough to expand as it rises and then bakes. If you like larger rolls, use more bread dough but, remember, it will grow.

- Place a layer of beet rolls in the bottom.
- Brush with melted butter or other fat and salt.
- Repeat layering, ending with melted butter or fat and salt on top.

- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour and serve hot with creamy dill sauce.
- Gather the ingredients.
- While the rolls are baking, make the sauce by melting 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons flour and cook until mixture bubbles.
- Add broth and, whisking constantly, bring to a slow boil. Cook until thickened, whisking frequently.
- Place sour cream in a heatproof bowl and temper by adding and whisking 1 or 2 small ladles of thickened broth mixture.
- Then add tempered sour cream back into the sauce, whisking until smooth.
- Add 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

UKRAINIAN CABBAGE ROLLS
My parents are Ukrainian and this is a recipe we always made when I was growing up. These cabbage rolls have no meat in them. Sometimes they used salt pork in them, but I didn't care for it.

Steps:
- Cook rice according to package directions and set aside to cool completely once done.
- Adjust oven rack to lower half of oven to allow for height of roasting pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Boil water in a large pot. While water is heating, remove tough outer leaves of the cabbage and reserve. Core around the stem of the cabbage at enough of an angle to remove. Gently place cabbage into boiling water core side down. Add additional water to ensure cabbage is not touching the bottom of pot.
- Reduce heat just a little and boil cabbage for about 5 minutes or until outer leaves become soft. Using kitchen tongs, remove the outer 2 or 3 leaves intact to a colander placed over a bowl to catch the water. Continue with remaining cabbage leaves one by one, allowing a minute or two between leaves for underlying leaves to soften. You want them to peel apart in one in-tact piece.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, eggs, and salt. Using your hands, work the mixture until combined.
- Position your cooked cabbage leaves alongside your bowl with the mixture in preparation for rolling/stuffing the dumplings. Before stuffing, prepare a large roasting pan by emptying one can of condensed tomato soup or a bit of the canned tomatoes in the bottom and spreading to coat. You do not need much.
- Begin rolling/stuffing the cabbage leaves one at a time. Repeat until all of the meat mixture has been used.
- Once all of the cabbage rolls are tucked tightly in the roasting pan, scatter the pepper strips and the cherry tomatoes on top. If there are remaining unstuffed cabbage leaves left, chop them finely and scatter atop as well. Pour the canned tomatoes, the remaining can of tomato soup, and the Heinz Chili Sauce atop the dumplings. Sprinkle with dried basil and add bay leaves. Dunk the reserved outer leaves detached from the cabbage at the beginning of the recipe into the still hot water used to soften the cabbage. This is simply to remove any grit from the surface of the leaves. Use the outer leaves as a 'blanket' and cover the dumplings completely.
- Place the lid on the roasting pan and bake at 350°F for 2 hours. When 2 hours is up, turn off the oven heat, crack the oven door, and leave the roasting pan in the oven, undisturbed, for an additional hour.
- Let rest until rolls are set. Then, spoon sauce over the cabbage rolls and serve alongside fresh bread of choice.

BONNIE'S UKRAINIAN CABBAGE ROLLS
Steps:
- 1. Cook the rice and set aside (3-4 c. after cooking) 2. Core the cabbages well, removing the heart and the dense, curled centre leaves with a strong spoon. 3. Set cabbages, hollow side down, in a large baking pan in 1-2 inches of water. Cover and steam/ boil them in a 400 degree oven for about 60-90 minutes. Every 10-15 minutes, remove the outer leaves that are becoming transparent and pliable, BEFORE they become fully cooked, thready and fragile. Slice away the back of the heavy centre vein on each cooked leaf, so the leaf is whole (Not cut down the spine) and 'roll-able' but of uniform thickness (no ridged spine) 4. Set aside each prepared leaf and wait for the other leaves as you prepare the filling 5. Combine all "Filling" ingredients together and stir well. The mixture will be sloppy, but will form a mound when dropped from a large spoon. Fill each leaf with about 2 T of filling. Roll core end once over filling - fold in ends - finish rolling. Poke finger into each end to secure the loose ends of the leaf. Use outside leaves on bottom of roaster to prevent scorching. Put end of rolled leaf towards bottom. Cover rolls with sauce (see recipe above) Cover with loose (raw or steamed) cabbage leaves and cores. Protect your oven with a large oven liner on the rack just below the roaster Bake at 375 F for about 6-8 hours, or until outer protective cabbage leaves are dark and scorched. To test for doneness, the largest cabbage roll, from the centre of the pan, should cut with a fork. Keep cooking until this is the case. When caabage is out of season, old, or heavily veined, longer cooking times are required.
