Holishkes (stuffed cabbage)

Typically served at Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).

• 8-10 cabbage leaves

• 4 C water (use more or less as necessary)

Sauce:

• 1 can (16 oz.) tomato sauce

• 1/4 C lemon juice

• 1/2 C brown sugar

Filling:

• 1 LB ground beef

• 1/2 C matzo meal

• 1 large onion, grated

• 2 carrots, grated

• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

• Pinch of cinnamon

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• 1/4 C fresh parsley, minced

• 2 eggs

Gently remove leaves from cabbage head. In a cooking pot, bring about four cups of water to a boil; cook cabbage leaves for a few minutes or until they are tender enough to roll easily. In a saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour about 1/4 of sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish. In a bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Shape filing into lemon-sized balls; place one ball on each cabbage leaf, rolling from the soft end to the spiny end to completely enclose filling Place cabbage roll on top of the sauce in the casserole dish. Repeat process with remaining cabbage leaves and filling. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Bake at 350-degrees F for thirty minutes to one hour, or until ground beef is fully cooked. Serve.
