Hungarian Cabbage Rolls
Handed down from my husband’s grandmother who came from Hungary on her honeymoon through Ellis Island. I am sure it was changed slightly to American-type ingredients.

There are many varieties of this dish. The Hungarians cook it a lil different, than the Austrians and Viennese people have their own Gulash recipes going on. So if you order the same dish in Vienna and in Hungary you probably are going to get 2 different dishes. Here I talk about a Gulash based on a Austrian / Viennese Style. It’s basically beef broth, Hungarian Paprika powder (it really makes a difference what kind of paprika powder you use.. so don’t expect it to come out that great – in Austria we grave that dish – if you substitute the paprika powder with anything you have at home that comes close ). I like that dish cause you can use it in so many ways. We eat dumblings, potatoes, spaetzles (its a german style pasta), Franks, rolls with it and it makes us very happy.

This is so much better when made with cabbage and potatoes straight from the ground. Most people I know use just a couple of tablespoons of spicy or hot sweet mustard, but I just use regular yellow mustard (and more of it) due to personal preference. I also use a lower fat pork & alligator sausage from Winn-Dixie that might not be available everywhere. I’m sure it would work with any kind.
This is an adaptation of a dish served at the Signaterhof in the town of Signat. I have yet to try it, but it’s screaming the “make me” chant from the pages of my newest Saveur magazine. (Oct. 06)
