THE BEST CABBAGE ROLLS

**********************************************************

Ingredients

1 head sour cabbage (3 lbs or more)

350 gr ground beef

350 gr ground pork

1/2 cup brown rice

1 chopped large onion

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz)

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove and separate cabbage leaves from head.

Cut the thick root on the back of the each leaf because of the easier folding.

Then, wash them in cold water or follow the notice below. (Please do not skip this step.)

Very Important: Immerse all cabbage leaves in cold water for 1/2 hour or longer because you need to wash off the salt so cabbage rolls are not too salty.

On New Year’s day in Sicily you must eat lasagna. Lasagna is the best

On New Year’s eve in some Latin countries eat 12 grapes at midnight.

The sweeter the grapes, the better the luck.

3.Bagels or donuts

The food shaped like rings symbolize good luck. It represents “coming full circle”.

So buy some donuts or bagels and enjoy.

Don’t worry about calories. This time is about LUCK.

4.Cabbage

If you want prosperity eat cabbage.The laves are reminiscent of paper money.

5.Pork

Many cultures eat pork on New Year’s Day. If you want to put past behind eat pork because

pigs always root forward.

6.Lucky Noodles

Japanese believe that a steaming bowl of soba noodles is the lucky meal eaten at midnight.

So, if you want luck in this 2017. please make cabbage rolls.
