We frequent Kenny and Ziggy's about once a month, maybe more often if are in the area. For those familiar with Houston, the deli is located in the Galleria area off of Post Oak. If ever in Houston it is worth a visit.
The recipe...
Kenny & Ziggy’s Stuffed Cabbage 1 large cabbage, whole 1 medium cabbage, chopped 2 cups sauerkraut
Sauce 2 28 oz cans chopped tomatoes 2 Tbsp tomato puree 2 cups onions, roughly chopped 2 cups brown sugar 1 Tbsp paprika 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/4 tsp sour salt 3 to 4 cups water
Place all sauce ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Mix all stuffing ingredients and set aside. In another large pot, bring water to boil. Core out the large cabbage and blanche in the boiling water until soft; remove from water and remove each individual leaf. Place 6 ounces of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf and fold the sides to the center and roll up, like an egg roll. Layer the bottom of a disposable half-pan with half of the chopped cabbage, then layer with one cup of sauerkraut. Place cabbage rolls on top then add remaining shredded cabbage then remaining sauerkraut. Pour sauce on top, cover tightly and place in a 300-degree oven to bake for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Makes 6-8 stuffed cabbage rolls.
