Romanian Cabbage Rolls (sarmale)

[WstTxSmokes]

We always make a big batch of cabbage rolls around October, I was in the mood so I made some a little early ha. Instead of bacon, I included some smoked sausages I made. The smell is amazing. Ingredients are:
Ground pork
Salt and pepper (jalapeño optional)
Rice
Onion
Dill
Parsley
sauerkraut
Homemade garlic sausage
Tomato sauce

We love cabbage rolls. We just ate the last of those I froze in portion packs last November.

Looks great! I'm all about cabbage rolls. Did you chop the sausage up inside the rolls?

I did not. I used them primarily to add a nice smoke flavor to the broth/rolls. I bet it would be good though in the rolls too!

Made a large batch of cabbage rolls, but this time I fermented the whole cabbage for 5 weeks. The sausage is SmokinEdge kielbasa recipe. I cut it into half links and add it to the rolls to boil. Adds a great smoke flavor. The fermented cabbage leaves take this recipe to the next level.

Interesting fermenting the cabbage first. I like putting kraut in with mine so this may be something I try
