ROMANIAN STUFFED CABBAGE
Cabbage
Ground veal
Ground pork
Instant rice
Tomato juice
Tomato sauce
Sauerkraut
Garlic salt
Pepper
Parboil whole cabbage. Tear off leaves and cut out core. Combine ground veal and pork (may substitute ground beef for veal and pork, but it's not Romanian that way) and enough instant rice to hold it together. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and mix well (this is sort of like making a meat loaf). Lay cabbage leaf out flat and top with a small handful of meat mixture. Roll cabbage around mixture to make what looks like a small pillow. Place roll in rectangular casserole dish with tucked side down (it won't open up upon baking this way). Continue with cabbage rolls until casserole has one layer.
Cover cabbage rolls with sauerkraut leaving a little juice. Pour a combination of tomato juice and sauce over the sauerkraut. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour or until meat is cooked. This dish is FANTASTIC with mashed potatoes using the tomato mixture as gravy.

This is a really easy one. In Romania this is most commonly eaten with fish or grilled pork or chicken. It is GREAT with many things though (french fries, pizza etc.) This is a slightly more complicated version that is more common in Transylvania. In the south the ingredients are usually just garlic, salt, and water. A mortar and pestle are most traditional but you can also use a garlic press or very finely mince the garlic as well.
