The Amateur Cook In Me. Cabbage Recipes

The star of this weekend´s ALTANGHAP (ALmusal, TANGhalian, HAPunan, literally means: Breakfast, lunch and dinner - the Filipino way) and repeat performances (meaning it can be eaten, reheated in the microwave until supplies last 😁😃😊😉 is CABBAGE (Repolyo in Tagalog or Repollo in Spanish).  For this weekend, I prepared:  Cabbage Rolls and Sauteed Cabbage with Canned Sardines (Ginisang Repolyo with De latang Sardinas) 

Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage Sliced in Julienne for my Sauteed cabbage with sardines and Cabbage leaves for the Cabbage rolls

Cabbage Rolls - low carb, full meal dish. 

Ingredients: 

Cabbage (get the outer part, full part as we will use it to wrap the filling) 
For the filling:  ground meat (either pork, beef or chicken, we used beef), minced garlic, minced carrots, minced shrimps (optional), minced ginger (for the added flavor), small egg, ground black pepper, herbs such as parsley 

Procedures: 

1. Blanch the cabbage (put it in hot, preboiling water for a minute, get it and put in cold water with ice). Set aside. 
2. Mix all the ingredients of the meat filling until they are all fully incorporated 
3. Scoop a teaspoon to a tablespoon of the meat filling, depending on the size of the cabbage leaf and put it in the blanched cabbage 
4. Pour water into your steamer.  Steam the cabbage rolls from 20-25 minutes. 
5. Best served as it is with soy sauce and lemon/calamansi.  Delicious.
