Reuben Cabbage Rolls

Kate
We love Reuben sandwiches, but we don’t eat a lot of bread. So the cabbage is holding together all the kraut, corned beef, swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing. Yum!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, enough water so that at least half of the cabbage is submerged.
  • Place the cabbage head in the water.
  • After about a minute, the outer leaf will begin to peel back from the cabbage head.
  • Using tongs, peel that layer away from the head and keep it in the boiling water for 3 minutes.
  • After the leaf has boiled for 3 minutes, take it out of the pot and place it in a colander to dry.
  • Keep using your tongs to peel the outer leaves off the cabbage head.
  • Make sure you boil each leaf for 3 minutes so they are soft and pliable to roll up.
  • Once your leaves are all boiled and soft, fold in half and cut the rib out (a v-shaped cut).
  • Make the thousand island dressing in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Put about 1/4 cup of corned beef at the top of the roll (the opposite side of the V-shape).
  • Add about 1 Tbsp of dressing and about 3 Tbsps of sauerkraut.
  • Add the Swiss cheese slice if you are using cheese.
  • Starting at the top, roll up the leaves once, fold the edges in, and continue rolling.
  • Place the stuffed roll into a large baking sheet, crease side down to hold everything in.
  • Cover with tinfoil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes.
  • Serve with the remaining dressing.
