Hungarian Cabbage Rolls
Wonderful flavors of ground meat, cabbage, tomatoes, lemon, dill, paprika and allspice come together with gusto in this hearty, old-world, cool weather favorite today. Give yourself plenty of time as the dish takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to cook.)
I got the inspiration for this dish from a dear friend in Montana. He came from a large family with Hungarian roots and grew up on this food. Of course, their version was made from home-grown cabbage, onions and home-canned tomatoes.
I’ve added whole wheat rolls and a sassy apple and radish salad to compliment the meal.
