1 large green cabbage
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 -3 onions (diced)
garlic, minced (lots)
uncooked rice (not sure how much just add until it looks right!)
thyme
salt and pepper
1 liter sauerkraut

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

olive oil

1
Cut the core from the cabbage.
2
Place the cabbage in a large pot of boiling water.
3
Remove outer leaves as they become soft.
4
(Alternatively, you can remove the core from the cabbage and freeze the cabbage overnight, let it thaw and remove the now soft leaves...but who plans that far ahead?
5
).
6
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together: the beef, pork, 1/2 of the onion, 1/2 the garlic, rice, thyme, salt and pepper.
7
Roll a few tablespoons of this mixture in each of the softened cabbage leaves.
8
Place rolls, seam side down, in a large, deep baking dish.
9
(Make sure you dont use a shallow dish or it will overflow!
10
).
11
In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until aromatic.
12
Add all of the canned tomato stuff and hot sauce.
13
Add 2 tablespoons (okay -- this amount is a guess...use your best judgement) thyme and some salt and pepper.
14
Bring sauce to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
15
Allow to simmer.
16
Spread the sauerkraut over the cabbage rolls in an even layer.
17
I dont recommend adding all of the liquid in the kraut but some of it is okay.
18
Pour the sauce over the sauerkraut and bake in a 350 degree oven forever or for a few hours, whatever comes first.
19
Make sure they dont dry out.
20
If they start to, add a can of tomato sauce over the top and reduce heat.
