For all you busy mommas out there,
wither you’re a stay home mom, a full time working mom or just a regular
person living life, this is a great recipe to keep on hand!
I’m not a big foodie person. Food is nothing that I get
excited about and to be honest, I hate cooking. But… when I fall in love with a
dish, I look up a recipe and I try to replicate it. For a busy mom who doesn’t
cook, it has to be a reallllllly good and simple dish for me to write about.
I was
introduced to this cabbage roll dish by a Russian co-worker of mine. I love
trying different kinds of food and when she brought it one day, she asked me to
try it. AND OMG! Did I love it! This dish is called “ Golubtsy” It’s cabbage wrapped around delicious mix of
meat and veggies topped with sour cream. What I really loved about this was it’s
healthy. Easy to make and I can make a lot, throw in the freezer and defrost
as needed. Most of the time, I pack it for lunch for a whole week. I love this
stuff, I can eat it everyday!
I’m a
very simple mom. I don’t like to make things too complicated so my recipe is
super simple. It’s not your typical GOLUBTSY so if you are wanting the
traditional dish, you can find many good recipes online!
Crap-e-mom Recipe:
1 pound of ground turkey
2 carrots chopped
1 zucchini chopped
Handful of mushrooms chopped
Half and onion chopped
1 cup of white rice ( Optional)
1 large cabbage
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of CHICKEN BOUILLON POWDER
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
½ cup of chicken broth
Sour Cream to top as needed
Boil your CABBAAGE WHOLE for I don’t know… Maybe 10 minutes?
Remove and put in ice bowl. Gently peel leaves. Set aside.
In a pan, with a bit of oil, Sauté your chopped Carrots,
Zucchini, mushrooms, onions. Allow to cool. In a large bowl, mix your ground
turkey with seasonings and eggs. Toss in your sauté veggie mix and rice.
Lay out your cabbage leaf, add meat mixture and roll! I like
to start at the core end ( the thicker end of the leaf). I like to line my
rolls in a pan, pour in ½ cup of broth and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and
done!
Top with sour cream! ENJOY!
