Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced smoked bacon until crispy. Add the ground beef and ground pork, cooking until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Blanch the Savoy cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 2 minutes until tender. Remove and let cool. Trim the thick stems if necessary.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rouladen

    Take a cabbage leaf and place a portion of the meat mixture at one end. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks if needed. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rouladen

    In a large pot, layer the fingerling potatoes, carrots, and mixed greens. Place the rouladen on top. Pour the mushroom demi-glace over the top. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the rouladen from the pot and slice them in half. Plate with the vegetables and spoon the mushroom demi-glace over the top.
