For the second episode of our new series „Cook It Like A German“ DW Food chef Felicitas Then invited DW’s „Meet The Germans“ presenter Rachel Stewart from the UK, into her kitchen to try to teach her how to cook an absolute classic of German cuisine: cabbage rolls!
Recipe for Kohlrouladen (German Cabbage Rolls)
Ingredients (for 4 people, preparation time approx. 1 hour)
1 Savoy cabbage
Salt
1 onion
1 tbsp. butter
1 bread roll
200 ml of milk
500 g minced meat
2 tsp hot mustard
½ teaspoon marjoram
Chili powder
Nutmeg, freshly grated
Black pepper, freshly ground
Kitchen twine
2 tbsp. clarified butter
100 g diced, streaky bacon
2 tbsp. tomato paste
300 ml meat broth
200 ml of cream
800 g waxy potatoes
2 tbsp. flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp. cornstarch
4 tbsp. Water
Preparation
1. Firstly, you’ll need to peel off eight large, attractive cabbage leaves, and blanch them in salt water. Rinse them off in iced water, and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Finely dice an onion and sauté it in 1 tablespoon butter until translucent.
2. Soak the bread roll in the milk. Now season the minced meat with the mustard, marjoram, chili and nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Strain the milk from the bread roll and mix in with the cooled onions and egg.
3. Now spread a cabbage leaf out on a work surface and place a small mound of mince in its center. Fold in the sides of the cabbage leaf and roll the whole thing up, then secure it with the kitchen twine.
4. Now add the clarified butter to a pan and turn the cabbage rolls in it until they are fried all over, then place them into an oven dish. Next, put the bacon in the pan and fry it for another 5 minutes, then add the tomato paste. Cover it all with the stock and cream, allow it to boil down briefly, then thicken with cornstarch dissolved in water, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour the sauce into the baking dish with the cabbage rolls and let it all simmer in a hot oven for about 30 minutes. You can serve Kohlrouladen with boiled potatoes and a sprinkling of parsley.
