Finnish Lihakaalilaatikko - Meat And Cabbage Casserole

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   In a large pot, simmer the cabbage in boiling water to cover until tender-crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes; drain.

3. 3

   Remove from heat and add the onion, butter, syrup, salt, white pepper, marjoram, allspice, and nutmeg and stir well to combine.

4. 4

   In another bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, and eggs.

5. 5

   Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

6. 6

   Place a layer of the cabbage mixture into the dish, then a layer or meat mixture; repeat until mixtures are used up, ending with the cabbage.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with the Parmesan then bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

8. 8

   Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, then serve alongside lingonberries, cranberry sauce, or currant jelly.

9. 9

   Note: this is also good with 3/4 lb ground beef and 1/4 lb ground pork; you can also mix in about 1/2 cup of tomato-based pasta sauce into the cabbage mixture, if you're wanting tomato.
