SWEDISH CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KåLPUDDING

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and lightly fry it, often stirring, for about 5-10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons molasses and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat to medium; cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix the pound of ground meat, 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp bread crumbs, 4 tbsp water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add 1/3 of the caramelized cabbage to the meat mixture and mix again to combine.
• Place the meat mixture into a greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish and top with the remainder of the cabbage. Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven, or until meat is cooked and cabbage turns a beautiful brown color.
• Allow resting 10 minutes before serving. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and lingonberry preserves.

SWEDISH CABBAGE ROLLS - DIANA RATTRAY RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• SLOW COOKER: Remove the leaves from the thawed head of cabbage. Alternatively, if you did not freeze the cabbage, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove about 12 to 14 large leaves from a head of cabbage. Place the leaves in the water and boil for 2 to 4 minutes. Drain thoroughly. In a large bowl combine the beaten egg, milk, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, ground beef, and cooked rice. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the beef and rice mixture in center of each cabbage leaf and form it into a cylinder shape. Fold in sides and roll ends over meat until completely rolled up. Secure with toothpicks, if desired. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in the slow cooker. In another bowl combine the tomato sauce with the tomatoes, brown sugar, lemon juice or vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours. STOVETOP: Prepare the cabbage rolls following the directions above. Place the cabbage rolls in a large, heavy Dutch oven or stockpot. Prepare the sauce and pour over the cabbage rolls. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 2 to 3 hours.

• (Personally, I'm not very fond of the sugar/syrup in the recipe, so I use to exclude it, but that's only because I'm against sweet ingredients in main courses in general).
