Yom Kippur is said and done, so we won’t be fasting anytime soon. That means it’s time to talk about FOOD. The At Home Gourmet is a phenomenal kosher cookbook by Sarah M. Lasry and we’ve got a copy to giveaway to one lucky Kveller reader.

And now the recipe for Sukkot Cabbage & Meatballs:
It seems that every person I know is making gefilte kraut (stuffed cabbage) for the up coming Sukkot holiday. My grandmother makes the most delicious recipe and as a kid I remember sitting at her kitchen table watching her wrap those cabbage leaves with her quick & nimble fingers, making what seemed like hundreds of these meat filled packages.
In my lifetime, I alone have personally consumed too many to keep count from her HUGE pot of boiling kraut that is perpetually on her stove top. However, I find the job of making these gefilte kraut a tedious one, that requires time and patience in the kitchen that I just usually don’t have.
But this easy Cabbage & Meatball recipe is the answer to all my food dreams of my grandmother’s delicious dish.
For those of you who have been following my recipes on Kosherstreet.com, my two cookbooks, and general good food hob-session, you know that this cabbage & meatball recipe that I got from my Aunt Rochie is one of my all time favorites !
I serve them up as an appetizer or main course during the holidays and you can usually find me in the kitchen sometime during the meal, eating just the sauce with a spoon from the leftovers in the pot!
