Ingredients

Main Dish:

  • Cabbage: 1 piece

  • Minced meat: 1.5 kg (3.31 lb)

  • Salt: 15 g (½ oz)

  • Black pepper: 7 g (0.25 oz)

  • Eggs: 2 pieces

  • Hard cheese: 100 g (3.5 oz)

  • Bacon: 350 g (12.35 oz)

White Sauce:

  • Cheese cream (Cream cheese): 100 g (3.5 oz)

  • Pickled cucumbers (Cornichons): 70 g (2.47 oz)

  • Mayonnaise: 30 g (1 oz)

  • Mustard: 20 g (0.7 oz)

  • Garlic: 4 cloves

  • Sweet cooking cream: 120 ml (½ cup)

  • Dill: 7 g (0.25 oz)

  • Salt: 5 g (0.18 oz)

Preparation & Cooking Steps

1. Preparing the Cabbage & Meat Filling

  •  Take a whole head of cabbage and carefully slice off the top core area. Use a knife to hollow out the inner core of the cabbage, leaving a sturdy outer shell or bowl.

  •  In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 kg of minced meat with 15 g of salt, 7 g of black pepper, and 2 eggs. Mix thoroughly by hand until well combined.

2. Assembling the Stuffed Cabbage

  • Spoon a portion of the seasoned meat mixture into the hollowed-out cabbage, pressing it down to cover the bottom.

  • Take the block of hard cheese and place it right in the center on top of the first layer of meat.

  •  Cover the remaining sides and the top of the cheese with the rest of the minced meat mixture, pressing down firmly to smooth out the top.

  • Place the stuffed cabbage into a circular, heat-safe baking dish. Use additional meat to coat the entire outside surface of the cabbage head until it is fully covered in a smooth layer of meat.

3. Wrapping and Baking

  • Take the strips of bacon and overlay them tightly across the entire meat-covered cabbage dome, ensuring full coverage.

  •  Pre-heat the oven and bake the cabbage at 160 °C (320 °F) for 2 hours.

4. Making the Special Cream Sauce

  •  In a tall blending cup, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, whole garlic cloves, and sweet cooking cream. Use a hand blender to blend until completely smooth and velvety. Pour the mixture into a clean serving bowl.

  •  Finely chop the pickled cucumbers and fresh dill.

  •  Stir the chopped pickles, dill, and 5 g of salt directly into the blended cream base until evenly distributed.

5. Serving

  •  Once baked, carefully slice the bacon-wrapped stuffed cabbage. Serve warm with a generous pour of the homemade white pickle cream sauce over the top.
