Hungarian Pups Recipe

submitted by reader Alice Ranowsky of Ludington, MI

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds lean ground pork (ground beef or half beef and half pork may be substituted)
1 cup uncooked rice
1 large onion
Salt
Pepper
Cabbage leaves
1 quart tomatoes
1 quart sauerkraut
Instructions
Mix together pork, rice, onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside. Separate leaves of cabbage and pour boiling water over each to wilt. Form small “pups” of meat mixture and wrap in leaves. Lay in kettle. Pour tomatoes and sauerkraut over pups. Add enough water to barely cover. Cook over low heat for 1 1/2 hours.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Try alternating green and red cabbage leaves for a nice twist on an old favorite. Be sure to use a lot of boiling water to soften cabbage leaves, or they will be too stiff to roll. Do not put green and red cabbage leaves in the same water, as the red turns the water blue and colors green leaves. If you prefer a spicy version, use sausage instead of pork or add your favorite spices to the ground pork. Serves 4 to 6.
