Does anyone have a good stuffed cabbage recipe without tomato sauce? ?

I know how to roll the cabbage and I will probably throw it in the slow cooker.. I just want something different than the polish cabbage rolls. Maybe no sauce? I don't like sweet tomato sauces.Does anyone have a good stuffed cabbage recipe without tomato sauce? ?
This is the traditional HUNGARIAN CABBAGE ROLL RECIPE (no tomato sauce). This is how the Hungarian grandma at the restaurant i worked at use to make the cabbage rolls during OKTOBERFEST. GOOD LUCK!!!!! (they are so good and i like them bettert han the tomato sauce way anyways)





Ingredients:


3/4 lb. ground pork


3/4 lb. ground beef


1/2 lb. Hungarian sausage


2 raw eggs


2 tsp. salt


1 Tbsp. paprika


陆 tsp. pepper corns


戮 lb. rice


2 large bay leaves


2 white onions chopped


3 Tbsp. shortening


1 large head of cabbage


1 bottle or pack of sauerkraut





nstructions:





Brown the chopped onion in shortening and place in a mixing bowl with ground meats, raw eggs, uncooked rice, paprika, salt. Mix well with your hands.





Take out the core of the cabbage. Leave the head whole. Place in large pot of boiling water to wilt the outer leaves. You will be able to gently pull off whole cabbage leaves. Trim off thick center vein of cabbage leaves. Make a pile of leaves. Shake off excess water.





Place 2 Tbsp. of meat and rice mixture on a leaf, starting at the thick end. Roll it up and tuck in the ends with your fingers. Make as many as you can.





Arrange the rolls in a cooking pot. Put a few chunks of sausage here and there between the rolls. Cover the rolls two-thirds full of water. Arrange rinsed sauerkraut on top. Sprinkle pepper corns and bay leaves on top. Cover and cook slowly for about 1-1/2 hours or until rice is tender.Does anyone have a good stuffed cabbage recipe without tomato sauce? ?

I have a great recipe for Stuffed Cabbage with a pumpkin curry sauce... sautee ground beef or turkey and some cooked rice in a little garlic, curry, salt and pepper... then instead of using tomato paste, use pumpkin in a can, add some sherry wine.. stuff the cabbage and bake.. would also be great with some fontina cheese baked on top...





I got this recipe from a site for a cookbook called ';Get in the Kitchen BIT@HES';- i am not sure it's up there anymore .. it's great! and completely different.. but great!
