This is my adaptation of the recipe found in "The Art of Jewish Cooking" by Jennie Grossinger. GROSSINGERS was a hotel in the Catskills ( Upstate NY) . The Catskills ( there were many hotels there ) was known as the "Borsht Belt" because the hotel guests were mostly Jewish ( of European descent) . i have made a few modifications: The original recipe in the book calls for canned tomatoes simmered with beef bones: I use canned tomato sauce. The original recipe call for 2 Tb of honey only: I use 2 Tb honey + 1 Tb. brown sugar. The original recipe cooks it all in the heavy pot: I use an oven. The original recipe calls for chicken fat: I use olive oil. I start cooking the cabbage and while its cooking, I prepare the meat and the sauce-this saves some time ( a little bit anyway..) This stuffed cabbage recipe has a bit of sweetness but its not too sweet like many other recipes. I usually serve this with salad and crusty bread.
