Halupsy - Galupsi - taken from a German-Russian web site
A large head of cabbage is wilted by covering it with boiling water for a few minutes.
The leaves are separated and on each leaf is placed a mixture of ground meat, either beef or pork, and rice, either raw, precooked or Minute Rice. Onion, garlic, salt
and pepper are added to taste. Roll or fold up the leaf into a roll; fasten it with a toothpick and place in a kettle.
At this point, one uses their own creative talents. The cooking time will depend upon the type of rice that you use, and whether or not you cook the rolls in a kettle or
in the oven.
1. The rolls may be covered with water to which 2 Tbsp vinegar are added.
2. Cover rolls with one can tomato paste diluted with one can water. Add water to cover.
3. Cover rolls with one or two cups sauerkraut or sauerkraut juice; add water to cover.
