Chorizo Cabbage Rolls Recipes

CHORIZO CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Put a large pan of water on to boil. When it's boiling drop the cored cabbage head into the water.
• Cook for three minutes of until the leaves start to relax away from the cabbage head. Drain and let cool.
• Remove the cabbage leaves carefully from the cabbage head. You'll need six large leaves. (I do this while the meat mixture is cooking).
• Slice the large leaf stem vein from each cabbage leaf. You'll make a V in the leaf bottom. Do not cut the leaf in half. Just cut out the tough part of the stem vein.
• Lay the cabbage leaves out on a counter or bread board.
• Meanwhile, Put a large skillet (at least 12 inch) on medium low heat on the stove top.
• Brown the hamburger and chorizo.
• When the meat is about halfway cooked add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent.
• Add the rice, tomatoes and salsa and 1 cup of stock to the meat, mix and cover for 10 minutes or so.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees:
• Remove the cover from the skillet. The meat /rice mixture should be spoonable.
• Spoon 2 to 3 Tablespoons of filling onto a leaf.
• Cover and roll the leaf and repeat until six cabbage leaves are filled and rolled. You will have extra filling.
• Place the cabbage rolls back into the skillet.
• Nestle the six cabbage rolls into the extra filling. The skillet will be full.
• Pour the remaining stock over the skillet filling and cabbage rolls and cover
• Place your oven proof skillet or oven proof baking dish into the oven and place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
• Bake one hour.

CHORIZO-STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and prepare a bowl of iced water. Plunge the cabbage leaves into the boiling water for 1 min, then quickly but carefully lift into the iced water using a slotted spoon and leave to cool completely. Drain in a colander and set aside.
• Crumble the chorizo into a bowl along with the rice, paprika, garlic, herbs and some seasoning. Scrunch everything together with your hands until well-combined.
• To assemble, first cut away a V-shape around the thick part of the stem on each cabbage leaf. Divide the stuffing into eight portions and roll each into a thick sausage. Working with one sausage at a time, wrap a cabbage leaf around it, rolling it over and tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat the process until all the cabbage leaves are stuffed. Will keep, chilled, for up to a day.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Drizzle a small roasting tin or shallow casserole dish with half the oil, then pour over half the passata and 150ml of water. Nestle in the cabbage rolls, then pour over the rest of the passata. Cover the tin or dish tightly with a lid or foil and bake undisturbed for 1 hr and 10 mins. Remove the lid, scatter over the parmesan, drizzle with the remaining oil and bake for another 10 mins until the parmesan is golden. Serve straight from the dish.

CHORIZO STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350^. Remove core from cabbage and outer leaves. Par boil whole cabbage heat in hot water for 5-7 minutes.Drain, then remove the main vein from each leaf, leaving the soft part. Set aside. Note: I usually skip this boiling part and place as many fresh leaves as I want to use in a plastic bag in the freezer uncooked overnight. In the morning just run the leaves under hot water - they will be limp- cut out the hard vein and you are good to go.
• 2. Sauté ground meat, chorizo and onions together until completely cooked about 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Add rice to mixture. Mix well and cool slightly.
• 3. When cooled , add eggs and mix well. Taking the cabbage leaves one at a time place 1 or 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in each leaf. Roll and layer in sprayed roasting pan. Combine the flour and paprika and sprinkle this over the rolls. Combine the beer and chicken broth and pour over the rolls. Cover and bake for about 55 minutes to an hour. Remove and serve on a bed of Crema Cheesy Mashed Potatoes and some fresh soda bread.

SMOKY CHORIZO SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unroll the pastry sheet on its baking parchment. Cut the sheet in half lengthways to create two long rectangles. Squeeze the sausagemeat from its skin into a bowl, then take half and mould into a log across the middle of one of the rectangles. Brush the longer edge of the pastry that's closest to you with a little of the egg. Repeat the process with the remaining filling, pastry and a little more of the beaten egg.
• Fold the unglazed edge over the filling on each piece of pastry, then fold the glazed edge over that, pressing gently along the length to seal. Turn the sausage rolls over, tucking the seal underneath, then gently squeeze the pastry around the sausage filling. Use a sharp knife to cut each sausage roll into seven pieces, then lift them, still on the parchment, onto a baking tray. The rolls can now be frozen on the tray. Once solid, put in a freezerproof container and freeze for up to three months.
• Brush the top of each sausage roll with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika and some sea salt. Bake for 25-30 mins (or 40 mins from frozen) until golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 10 mins before eating.
