Cabbage Rolls / Polish Gołąbki - Easy to Follow, Step by Step Recipe

MORE VIDEOS? I appreciate that so many people have asked for more videos but I have no immediate plans to make more, for several reasons. • I’m supposed to be retired! • I don’t have a staff - It’s just me. • It was just a hobby and I wasn’t prepared for this many views. • I can’t answer all the questions and then I feel bad for not helping. • Now I feel bad for not making more! Thank you for all the love and appreciation. I will try to find time to make more but it won’t be for a while. Many questions are answered in my website FAQs and I continue to post new recipes there. www.JennyCanCook.com - always free/no ads. Love you guys!

Also a Polish girl here. At 81 I still like to cook for myself, been a widow for 33 years. I now make these deconstructed, still baked in my navy blue speckled roaster, but layered like a lasagna in two layers of cabbage, meat mix and sauce. Brings back old memories. My mom made them often, she lived to 100, been gone 10 years.

I take care of a 91 year old Polish man and his wife. He's been wanting Gołabki for a while now. After watching your video today, I made your recipe, (the only one I found that wasn't smothered in tomatoes). I'd just like to say, I got two thumbs up from this finicky ol couple. Thank you very much for this recipe Jenny! You've helped me put a smile on their faces. Priceless!

I'm Czech and I remember when I used to help my mom making cabbage rolls. Our stuffing was usually hamburger with onions and rice and then stewed tomatoes poured over the them all and we used the pressure cooker to cook them. So good.. thanks for the memories Jenny 😊

OMG so glad I came across this. And what I love most is Jenny's kitchen looks like a normal kitchen, not some over-the-top celebrity kitchen. I can't wait.

I'm Iraqi and my mom makes it all the time with few differences. More spices, more vegetables, no mushrooms and less meat. She made them today. It's so amazing to learn how very different cultures share very similar foods. It is fascinating.

Thank you. I made these today and modified your recipe slightly. I substituted a green bell pepper for the mushrooms, used sour cabbage, basmati rice, two cups of onions, three large garlic cloves, one cup of rice, canned tomato sauce and paste, and topped off with concentrated chicken broth - BAM!! I’m of Rumanian/Ukrainian heritage and was raised on this type of food - this was by far the best I’ve ever had. My baba/Bunica and my mom would have been proud of me❤️

Polish girl here ❤ I haven't made this since my dad passed away. A few ingredients are different but you did start a fire in me. I'm going to make them again. My favorite.....polish food .

Since I was widowed I haven’t been inspired to cook for one person. So thank you for your videos. Now I have been motivated to cook, freeze and invite the neighbours in. Thank you.

The best part I liked in this video is you remembered the way your father taught you cooking tips and you shared those with us. It was great watching your video, Ma'am.

Our family stuffs our cabbage rolls with ground beef, cut up Kielbasa, and rice! We pour in tomato sauce in a big oven and cook on low all day!! Going through these comments has been so nice, I enjoy seeing the mix of traditions and love shared through food! ♡

I just LOVE watching you cook! You are so down to earth, calm and easy to watch. Some cooking videos have my head spinning and thinking there is no way I can cook that but not with you!! I have made several of your recipes more than once & the family LOVES them! Thank you for showing us how you cook your recipes!! <3

I think this lady is just about the nicest, sweetest person on YouTube.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND if I don't answer your questions. I just can't keep up any more with the number of people who view my videos and recipes every day (40,000 people a day in 190 countries!) Please look for answers in the comments, online or on my website. There are no ads on my website. I am a one-woman operation and I don't do this for money, only for my love of cooking. Many questions are addressed in the FAQs on my website: www.JennyCanCook.com. Thank you.

I'm not Polish, but the priest who married my wife and I was :) (didn't understand a word he said during our ceremony, but he was an awesome man) Always wanted to make this meal. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your recipe. You have the gift for making a good cooking video thank you and I hope you are enjoying your retirement.

With two Polish grandmothers I grew up with all the great Polish dishes. Makes my mouth water!

My grandma made the best she was polish and a professional cook for a living even had her own cattering bussiness . I might have been a little kid but she paid me for the work I did like carrying baskets of dishes setting up the tables and chairs Rollin out the paper on the tables setting up the plates and dishes then there was cleanup scrapping off the dishes and washing them . It's because of her I was never afraid of hard work. She was the BEST.

My family is Croatian, and they would boil the rolls in a large pot, using a water that has tomato sauce added to it. They would also add sour kraut to the pot, as well as some smoked ribs, or small smoked sausages for extra flavour. The soup stock from the pot of boiled cabbage rolls was delicious. We would serve them in a shallow bowl with boiled potatoes. Delicious!!

Hello Jenny ! I'm not polish at all! 😉 Scottish, Norwegian & English! I've always enjoyed stuffed cabbage rolls other wonderful cooks have made! I've never attemted to make them myself! I've seen recipes for stuffed cabbage in different cookbooks but it's never inspired me to try making the recipe! Sounded rather difficult as I recall! Your video has shown it's not so complicated after all! Actually much easier than I had anticipated! I'm now quite inspired at giving this delightful recipe a try! Thank you for making this video! I quite enjoyed watching it over a cup of Earl Grey! Great hobbie to do during your retirement years although you look much too young for retirement already! 🙂 God Bless! Thank You Jenny for the inspiration! 💕

I'm half German and even though I grew up in a Polish community (Wyandotte, MI) this is the way I make it: Hamburger, Ground Pork, Onions, Bread Crumbs, Rice and Paprika (not sure why I capitalized all of the foods lol) in the rolls. Cover with diced tomatoes, kraut, kielbasa and make a liquid out of tomato paste and water. One of my favorite foods.
