Didn't know stuffed cabbage is supposedly an Ottoman creation.

I was a little snot, when served stuffed cabbage for dinner, which my mother basically slaved over all day to make.

Now I crave a good stuffed cabbage.

Looks like Mom used to make.
I think she called it “Gawumpki”. Polish, Russian, don’t know my heritage.

Its one of those funny things of which everyone seems to want to claim ownership.

I think there are more than a few Greeks who would beg to differ on the Turkish origin of the dish. Around here, it is primarily served in Lebanese restaurants.

Dad would sour a few heads of cabbage whole inside his big barrel of kapusta. Then peel off the leaves easily and make your stuffed cabbage with soured leaves. Yum! I don’t make that much kapusta so I would layer the bigger whole raw leaves in a nest and cover with shredded cabbage.

I’m of Hungarian descent. My brothers and I had stuffed cabbage a lot as kids. Good food. We used to call them “Hungarian hand grenades”.

But never when the older folks were around!🙂

Try the Golabki (stuffed cabbage) at Taste of Poland in Plano. We have had takeout there several times. Good food.

It's NOT "Turkish" at all; the ONLY thing "TURKISH" is the paprika and that isn't either! When the damned Ottoman Empire invaded and took over Hungary, they brought peppers with them. The Hungarian soil CHANGED those peppers somewhat, the Hungarians ground them into paprika and that's all there is to that!

An d now the Turks make paprika and it STINKS; it'll also turn every sauce/gravy you put it in... a wretched BROWN!

I read the recipe in the article and they're NOT right! It's a translation, but the translation is wanting! SOUR CABBAGE is actually SAUERKRAUT! And that ingredient is used with and without caraway seeds.

NEVER, NOT EVER, sour cream on REAL Hungarian stuffed cabbage; tomato sauce!

Not only do I have my great, great grandmother's recipe for this, but grew up watching it being made by my grandmother and my mothers. I also have many Hungarian cookbooks; the best of which is has exactly the same recipe I have. And minced pork is NOT the only way, ground beef is more usual!

There’s a pretty good Polish restaurant in Carmel, NY. Owner is a nice guy. I ordered the stuffed cabbage, and it was good, though not as good as my late Aunt in-laws.

Did not know it was Turkish. Just hearty Slavic peasant fare.
