Ted's Baba's Special Recipe

Bergy's Note:

This is an old recipe handed down from grandmother through 3 generations. The ingredient amounts and instructions are scant and will have to be adjusted to your likeing. Sometimes they are served with cottage cheese on the side and nearly always with sauerkraut. This dish forms part of a Ukrainian festive meal. My friend that gave me the recipe did not know the actual name of the dish.

My mum used to make this, it's called Beet Leaf Dough Holubtsi (Holubtski being 'Roll'). It's in a Ukranian cookbook my mum passed down to me. It is very yummy. I've also made Beet Leaf Roll-ups (or Holubtsi) with a rice, dill and, onion filling. Very tasty.
