Zelna Hlava Plnena
Recipe Description
Stuffed Cabbage Head. Yet another I've pulled out of "The Czechoslovak Cookbook". Of course I had to add garlic to the recipe :) Also for a little extra kick you can use some spicy bloody Mary mix instead of the cream of tomato soup. I hope you enjoy this, we sure do.Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- Remove the stump from the cabbage and discard.

- Chop the cabbage you scraped out of the inside.
- Cook onion and garlic in 2 tbsp butter over medium high heat until onion is wilted.
- Add meat and brown.
- Add chopped cabbage, salt, pepper, parsley, and tomato soup.

- Drain and allow to cool, then add egg and mix together well.
- Fill cabbage with mixture (you will usually have some left over unless you pack very tight) and cover with a cabbage leaf securing with a toothpicks.
