Today’s recipe is a very special one, it
\nis a Lent dish as prepared in monasteries in Oltenia Country. It is stuffed
\ncabbage which has fish instead of the regular minced meat used in traditional
\nrecipe. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
You need 200g of smoked mackerel, a kilo and a half of white
\nboneless fish (preferably pike or perch pike), 200 g of rice, a cup of tomato
\njuice, two or three onions, 3 or 4 tablespoons of oil, ground black pepper,
\npeppercorns, dill (fresh or dried), thyme, bay leaves, salt to taste, one egg,
\nshredded sauerkraut, and whole sauerkraut leaves for the wrapping. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Start by chopping the onion finely and sweating it in the oil, and
\nwhen it softens add water and cover. After it is done, leave aside to cool.
\nMake sure the rice is properly cooked ahead of time, and the fish, both smoked
\nand raw, is minced. Mix together well the fish with onion, dill, salt and
\npepper. Add the egg and once again knead together well. The secret is to
\nbalance the salt you add with how salty the smoked fish and sauerkraut are.
\nRoll the mixture in the cabbage leaves. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Line a deep stewpot with oil, shredded sauerkraut and thyme, then
\nproceed to lay the stuffed cabbage rolls in layers, sprinkling in between
\npeppercorns and pieces of bay leaf. Cover the whole thing with whole cabbage
\nleaves, pour over the entire thing the tomato juice, adding water until it
\nalmost covers the contents of the pot. Simmer on the stovetop for an hour and a
\nhalf. <\/p>\n
