Description

These inventive cabbage rolls swap traditional rice stuffing for a blend of cornbread mix and bulk pork sausage, creating a hearty, savory bite. The cabbage leaves are softened in the microwave to save time, making this an ideal weeknight dinner or quick lunch. The filling is bound with egg and seasoned with apple cider, which complements the pork beautifully. A quick, thickened apple cider sauce poured over the top adds a touch of sweetness and moisture. This dish is perfect for those seeking a comfort food meal that comes together in under 40 minutes without heating up the kitchen with an oven.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the center vein from the cabbage leaves to keep them flat, then place them in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish.
  2. Cover the dish with vented clear plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the leaves are limp and pliable.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, 1/4 cup of the chopped apple, cornbread stuffing mix, and 1 tablespoon of apple juice or cider.
  4. Add the bulk pork sausage to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions.
  6. Place one portion of the meat mixture onto each softened cabbage leaf.
  7. Fold in the sides of the cabbage leaf over the filling, then roll up tightly from the unfolded edge to enclose the meat.
  8. Arrange the rolled cabbage rolls in a microwave-safe dish and pour 1/4 cup of water over them.
  9. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high for 9 to 10 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through, until the sausage is cooked through.
  10. Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
  11. In a microwave-safe measuring cup, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of apple juice or cider, cornstarch, and instant beef bouillon granules.
  12. Stir in the remaining chopped apple.
  13. Microwave the sauce mixture uncovered on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened and bubbly.
  14. Spoon the warm apple cider sauce over the cabbage rolls and serve immediately.
