Lazy Golubtsi
Lazy Golubtsi
Golubtsi or stuffed cabbage rolls are widely known dish in Russia, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine. These rolls are usually stuffed with a mixture of beef and pork mince, caramelized onions, rice, a lot of fresh parsley and baked in a creamy tomato sauce. Although in our family Golubtsi is one of the favorite dishes, I do not cook them very often. They are considered to be a meal for special occasions or weekends because they are quite time-consuming to make. The recipe of Lazy Golubtsi is super quick and easy to cook and taste doesn’t differ at all from the original.

Can ground turkey be used instead of beef? Is dehydrated turkey as “shelf stable” as beef?
Sure! You can replace beef in this recipe to ground turkey. It’s shelf stable!
The first step is to fry the onion in the oil. Onions aren’t in the list of ingredients.
How long would this be shelf stable or should it be stored in the freezer?
Hi Erin! The shelf life of dehydrated food depends on many factors. If dried and stored properly, it can last years! Anyway,if’d like to prolong the shelf life of your dehydrated food, pack in to vacuum-sealed bags and keep in the freezer.
Ok, thanks. I’ve never dehydrated meat before so I was curious ?
Excited to try this! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
