Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
The porcini mushrooms in this recipe are substituted for prawdziwki, a similar Polish variety.
2 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
2 tbsp. butter
3 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 lbs. ground pork
2 cups cooked medium-grain white rice
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads green cabbage, cored and halved
2 tbsp. flour
1 cup sour cream
Chopped fresh dill
1. Put mushrooms and 1 quart water into a bowl; let soften for 1 hour. Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onions; cook until golden, 10–12 minutes. Let cool; transfer to a large bowl. Add pork, rice, parsley, egg, and salt and pepper to taste; stir well. Cover and refrigerate.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cabbage; cook until outer leaves are soft, 8–10 minutes. Remove leaves; cut away thick vein. Scoop 2–3 tbsp. filling into middle of each leaf, roll up, and fold in ends; secure with toothpicks.
3. Put mushrooms with their water into a pot; cook over medium heat until very soft, 8–10 minutes. Whisk in flour and sour cream; purée sauce in a blender. Arrange cabbage rolls in a wide pot in 2–3 layers; pour sauce over rolls. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 2 hours. Uncover; cook until thickened, 25–30 minutes. Transfer rolls to a large plate and remove toothpicks; keep warm. Return pot to medium heat; cook sauce, whisking often, until thickened, 20 minutes. Pour sauce over rolls; garnish with dill.

I used 1/2 ground pork & 1/2 ground chicken, and low fat sour cream, but otherwise followed recipe verbatim: the result was totally bland, no flavor whatsoever! What a huge disappointment.
a lot of work for little satisfaction. very bland.
