Core cabbage and place in large saucepan. Cover cabbage with water and
boil until cabbage is softened. Drain off water. Set aside copped onion,
pared carrots, and cut celery stalks in halves. In a small bowl, dampen
bread with water. Add hamburger, egg, salt and pepper. Mix together
well. Slice thick stem base off cabbage leaves. Place some meat misture
on leaf. Fold and roll, place seam side down in saucepan. On top of
cabbage rolls, place onions, carrots, and celery. Pour tomatoes and
tomato juice over all. Carmelize 1 cup sugar in heavy skillet. Add to
cabbage roll mixture. Juice 2 lemons and add as final ingredient. Simmer
2 hours uncovered.
This recipe says sauce pan but I used a 13" cake pan. It doesn't specify
degrees, so I picked 350. ??? The cake pan holds the rolls and then the
carrots and celery can be decorative by laying them horizontally,
alternating. It makes a pretty dish. And it is good. Well worth the
effort.
