Gołąbki... cabbage and more cabbage

A few weeks ago we had two of the Roma women at the Goss's apartment trying to teach us Americans how to make something tasty out of the over abundant cabbage supply. This is Gołąbki. It's ground beef with rice and onions wrapped in a big cabbage leaf. You wrap it like a burrito and then you put it all in a big pot and cook it for about an hour with a block of lard at the bottom to grease it up. It tasted really good. I liked the stuff at the top of the pot that hadn't been touched much by the lard. It was a fun evening. I ate way too much. Ha. You may ask, "Will this meal become a staple in your normal eating habits?" No, I'd like to stay cabbage free. My roommates would probably appreciate it because cabbage can be revengeful. Ha.


My favorite part was when Brenda was asking how much spice to use. Then Paulina said, "Try some so you will know how it will taste in the future." The "it" was the bowl of raw ground beef mixed with rice. haha!!! Brenda skipped the taste test and just took better notes.
