Ingredients

16 medium cabbage leaves

boiling water

1 tsp. salt per liter (quart) water

1 pound / 500 g lean ground beef

1 onion, finely chopped

1 slice of whole wheat bread, finely shredded by hand

1-1/4 tsp. salt

4 tsp. potato starch

1-1/2 cups (3-4 dl) homogenized or full fat milk

1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 cups (5 dl) lightly-salted, boiling water

Note: Using the boiling water is the original recipe but I prefer to use 2 cups of my favourite tomato juice and I like to place 1/2 a bay leaf in the juice. If you use a bay leaf. remember to remove it after cooking. Now, for a twist and if you can obtain Juniper berries, then they too are a nice addition to the tomato sauce.

Directions

Par-boil the cabbage in lightly salted boiling water until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Drain well.

Cut out the thick stem part.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (160 degrees C).

Mix ground beef with onion, slice of bread, salt and potato starch.

Gradually add milk and season with spices.

I cover this meat mixture with cling wrap and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for a good 1/2 hour.

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf.

Fold the cabbage leaf over the meat once, then fold both sides in and continue to role the leaf to form a small package.

Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in a greased ovenproof dish.

Gently pour water over the cabbage rolls and place the dish in a water bath.
