The thing that I love about a BBQ Fattie is that the possibilities are endless. You can use any meat with any stuffing. I have had a taste for stuffed cabbage lately, so, why not? Here is a step by step method for making a Stuffed Cabbage Fattie...
First, I cleaned, peeled, and diced 3 small potatoes for mashed potatoes. Only homemade here folks...
While the potatoes were cooking, I cleaned and diced 1 small sweet onion and some cabbage. I caramelized in some olive oil, salt and pepper...
I cooked 1/2 cup of white rice to get 1 cup of cooked rice, then cooled down in the freezer...
Once cooled, I mixed with 2 pounds of ground pork, 1 tsp of minced garlic, and some salt and pepper...
Mixed it all up, placed in a plastic bag, flattened out, and put in the frig to firm up...
While the meat and rice mixture was chilling, I made my mashed potatoes, mixed in the cabbage potato mix, and placed in my "mold". Once molded, I put in the frig to firm up...
For the tomato sauce, I sauteed 1 tsp of minced garlic and 1/4 of a small sweet onion with some salt and pepper. Added 15 oz of canned sauce, brought to a simmer, and let cook down by 1/4...
While the sauce was cooking, I prepared the fattie... I cut the plastic bag and placed the pork mixture on some wax paper. Remember, wax paper is your friend...
Then, onto the middle rack of the Baby at 250 F with a piece of oak in the ash pan...
Flipped after 30 minutes and raised the temp to 300 F. As you can see the seam came apart a bit. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It allowed the tomato sauce to get at the potato mixture inside...
Then, after another 30 minutes, I placed in a foil pan, covered with the reduced tomato sauce, and raised the temp to 350 F...
Finished product...
As you can see, it fell apart a bit. But the flavors were there for sure. Moist, juicy, with a hint of oak. Good stuff.
Some things I will do differently next time:
1. 3 lb of ground pork
2. I will wrap with a bacon weave
3. More cabbage in the potato
Thanks for stopping by...
