Mama's Stuffed Cabbage Over Mashed Potatoes
My mom being 100% Polish made some amazing dishes passed down to her. Some were considered peasant dishes but they are just fresh ingredients that were used when in season and plentiful. Sometimes simple is best. Here is her rendition. This is made for 4 people. For more, simply double or triple recipe. Now your wondering where is the rice. In mom's recipe there wasn't any since it was always served over mashed potatoes. Old customs had ingredients fresh from the garden. Grandma, mom did make their own strained tomato sauce. Sorry mom but I cheated here😉

This was a new recipe for me. I had never even had stuffed cabbage so I just winged it. I thought it turned out very delicious... I ended up eating all of it in 2 days (by myself!) I'd say it would make approximately 3 servings if serving as is. 6 servings if served over rice.

This Lebanese version of cabbage rolls is just one of many variations served all over the world. It is particularly enjoyed during the colder fall and winter months. The word “Malfouf” actually has 2 meanings in Arabic, “rolled” and “cabbage.” Loads of fresh garlic and lemon juice give these cabbage rolls wonderful flavor.😍👌
