Sarmale Monti

Ingrediente:

400 grame de carne de vita tocata
30 grame de orez salbatic
varza murata (cam jumatate dintr-o varza)
o ceapa medie
sare
piper
suc de rosii
2 crengute de cimbru
smantana

Orezul se fierbe separat (aproximativ 1 h). Ceapa se taie marunt si se caleste putin, se adauga orezul fiert si scurs bine de apa. Dupa adaugarea orezului se opreste focul. Carnea se amesteca cu orezul si ceapa, deja calite, sare si piper (nu puneti foarte multa sare, pentru ca varza murata este destul de sarata). Se fac sarmalele, care se aseaza intr o oala sau cratita. Peste se pune sucul de rosii si crengutele de cimbru. Se fierb cam 30 de minute, apoi se pun in cuptor pana cand carnea este gata. Se incearca dupa 1h (verificati daca s-a fiert varza).
Se servesc cu smantana deasupra.

Ingredients:

400 gr of minced beef meat
30 gr of wild rice
sauerkraut (about half from one cabbage)
one medium onion
salt
pepper
tomato juice
2 branches of thyme
cream

Boil the wild rice separately (about 1h). Slice the onion into small pieces, simmer it a bit and add the rice (well drained off water). After adding the rice, take the pan of the cooker. Mix by hand the meat, rice, onion and add pepper and salt (not too much salt, because the sauerkraut is already salty). Make the sarmale (roll the composition into cabbage leaves). Put them into a pan and add the tomato juice and the thyme. Boil everything for about 30 minutes and then put the pan into the oven. After cooking for one hour in the oven, check to see if it's ready (check if the sauerkraut is well done).
Serve with cream on top.

Enjoy!
